Issue installing libcups

[ravirajbasis]

Hi

Trying to install libcups on FreeBSD 12.x!

Extracted the master zip file.

configure command gives following output:

OK, short term solution, try:

make clean
./configure --disable-shared
make install

I'll investigate why -liconv isn't getting used for the shared library...

[michaelrsweet]

I also just pushed a potential change (iconv functions should be in the C standard library, but the BSDs might not automatically include libc in a shared library...

./configure --disable-shared

Hi

So, the output of commands are:

1) make clean

root@localhost:~/Documents/libcups-master/libcups-master # make clean ======== clean in cups ======== ======== clean in tools ========

2) ./configure --disable-shared

OK, so iconv_open is available but we are trying to use libiconv_open... Something is broken...

[michaelrsweet]

OK, managed to get FreeBSD 13.1 installed in Parallels on one of my Macs (can't get the mouse to work, apparently a common problem, so this is just from the console). I added a workaround for FreeBSD - no library + FreeBSD = add -liconv.

Try the latest tarball or update your local git clone...

Hi

Finally it worked! Can run ipptool.

I consider my issue to resolved.
