libiconv and gettext have a circular dependency. In an ideal world we'd
build libiconv without gettext support first, then gettext and finally
libiconv again with gettext support.
However, if the libiconv port detects gettext on the host system while
the gettext port hasn't been built yet things break.
This disables gettext support for the libiconv port for now.
Without a SONAME gcc will put the whole library path into executables
which link against these libraries:
$ readelf -d Root/usr/local/games/openttd
Dynamic section at offset 0xf0747c contains 32 entries:
Tag Type Name/Value
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libgcc_s.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [/serenity/Build/i686/Root/usr/local/lib/libpng.so]

0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libm.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libc.so]
This causes the executable to fail because the dynamic linker
tries to find the library in the incorrect path.
- Replaced /Root with
- Improved documentation.
- Removed a few typos.
- Replaced with
- Added brackets in some cases.
Most of the changes were reviewed and applied manually.
This manually builds shared libraries for a bunch of ports. Using
libtool would be preferable but that's currently broken so I'm
linking the shared libraries manually.
I'd rather use libtool to build the library but that would
require more extensive changes to the configure script
and maybe even libtool itself. So instead I just build
it manually.
* Use ${version} instead of explicit version numbers in urls/filenames
* Move -L option to port script, as this is always good
* Fix some various other stuff
Ports/.port_include.sh, Toolchain/BuildIt.sh, Toolchain/UseIt.sh
have been left largely untouched due to use of Bash-exclusive
functions and variables such as $BASH_SOURCE, pushd and popd.
