WxWidgets and libiconv

[newbie567]

WxWidgets will not build anymore because it does not find the latest version of libiconv installed in the packages. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks

Is it FreeBSD 10? libiconv is included in the base OS now and there is a port that has additional functionality that some ports absolutely needed. You may want to contact the maintainer to make sure the port is working on all platforms.

I have the package installed in FreeBSD 10, but when I try to build wxWidgets it says there are libiconv open and close errors and it says there are undefined references to it and it can't find it.

I'd search this forum. I'm pretty sure this has been discussed recently, and may concern the llvm/clang switch

Sorry...

On FreeBSD 9 it used to work by just building it from the tar file downloaded from the site and not from the ports tree and that's what I was doing and why it doesn't work now.

Some recent changes have broken quite a few ports. They don't look properly for the iconv library any more.
If configure fails, this usually works:

CFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib -liconv
