glib-2.78.1 complains about iconv and intl

[firasuke]

Hey there,

I'm trying to build glib-2.78.1 using muon on a custom Linux distribution that uses gettext-tiny and is based on musl libc. I am receiving the following error:

err project /root/glib-2.78.1/subprojects/iconv not found
fallback ['iconv'] failed for 'iconv'
err required dependency ['iconv'] not found
/root/glib-2.78.1/meson.build:2081:25: error required dependency not found
2081 |    libiconv = dependency ('iconv')

I tried several iconv implementations from toybox and from Alpine, but that doesn't seem to be the issue.

If I remove the dependency from the meson.build file I get a missing intl error.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time!

Hmm, are you trying iconv util implementations?

I think you need a libiconv implementation library like this with libiconv.so.

Or maybe you could just disable intl. It should be possible.
