The current UX2BS will be spun off as the UX2 distributions install for now. For now I will leave it as is and eventually release it without the development packages with just the emx runtimes/misc libraries to support the apps. John is currently sorting his server out and will announce a new bootstrap. The 'old' ux2bs and new 'ux2 install' will have it's own bootstrap in the /unixos2 tree at my servers and uxixos2.org soon. -- T.Sikora tsikora at ntplx dot net _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 12:44:04 +0300 From: Alex Samorukov Subject: Re: libiconv John Poltorak wrote: >Is there anything to watch out for when building libiconv? > >Where should I expect to find the latest release? > > > > 1) Do "configure --enable-extra-encodings" to include all avaible charsets. 2) http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ AFAIR no patches was need to compile it. _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 17:24:56 +0100 From: John Poltorak Subject: Re: libiconv On Thu, Oct 23, 2003 at 12:44:04PM +0300, Alex Samorukov wrote: > John Poltorak wrote: > > >Is there anything to watch out for when building libiconv? > > > >Where should I expect to find the latest release? > > > > > > > > > 1) Do "configure --enable-extra-encodings" to include all avaible charsets. > 2) http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ Is this v1.9.1 ?
