could not import: iconv_open

[Iancurtis]

I compiled the aporia successfully, but could not run it. could not import: iconv_open libiconv had been installed

[dom96]

Which operating system?

[Iancurtis]

mac osx 10.10.3

[dom96]

oh. That's a tough OS to get Aporia working on. You just need to install the correct GTK dependencies, GTK includes the correct libiconv. Afraid I can't help much here as I don't have a Mac.

[Iancurtis]

I'll try it on ubuntu tomorrow.

[dom96]

Hoping to create a Mac bundle to make running Aporia on Mac OS X easier, will update if I manage to do so successfully.

Unfortunately, same problem in FreeBSD-11-p2.

How to set high debug level to understand the problem?

[nealie]

I too have the same problem on FreeBSD-11-p2, using the newly submitted, but as yet uncommitted nimble port.

[dom96]

Wish I could help, but I don't have FreeBSD to test Aporia on.

[kandeshvari]

@dom96 try it in qemu or give me a patch - I can test it.

[dom96]

I'm afraid I don't have the time to do that. Maybe you could investigate?

[kandeshvari]

I have time, but don't have skills in nim debugging ) Give me plz a point to start from.

[dom96]

I'm not sure whether this is a Nim problem. Do other GTK (version 2) apps work on your machine?

[dom96]

Nah. I'm wrong. This module is to blame for this error: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/lib/pure/encodings.nim

[dom96]

Perhaps the API is different on FreeBSD?

[dom96]

The libiconv.so DLL simply doesn't have the iconv_open function, you need to figure out why.

[kandeshvari]

ok. I'll check it. Thanks.

Any news about this problem? FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p5 the same problem. nim 0.16.0 & nimble 0.8.2 installed from ports.
