[CONC-491] libmariadb fails to build on OpenBSD due to undefined iconv symbols Created: 2020-08-29  Updated: 2021-02-15  Resolved: 2021-02-09

OpenBSD


 Description   

libmariadb currently defines LIBICONV_PLUG to workaround a Linux issue globally but this breaks building on any OS that uses GNU iconv as a non native implementation, as in part of GLIBC for example.

From the iconv.h header..

#ifndef LIBICONV_PLUG
#define iconv_open libiconv_open
#endif
#ifndef LIBICONV_PLUG
#define iconv libiconv
#endif
#ifndef LIBICONV_PLUG
#define iconv_close libiconv_close
#endif

Which results in undefined symbols.

Hi Brad,

can you please try with latest stable version? We change build option in 3.1,10 so by default C/C will be build without iconv.

We have MariaDB 10.5.8 in our ports tree and it is building fine.
