This breaks my build on Solaris 8, as there is no separate libiconv. The history of this line is somewhat convoluted. In2fd955c(in November 2005), NEEDS_LIBICONV was turned on for all Solaris builds, claiming to "fix an error in Solaris 10 by setting NEEDS_LIBICONV". Later,e15f545(in February of 2006) claimed that "Solaris 9+ don't need iconv", and moved NEEDS_LIBICONV into a section for Solaris 8. Furthermore, Brandon Casey claims in <5A1KxlhmUIHe8iXPxnXYuNXsq0Yjlbwkz2eBin3z7ELuL9nK-4tSpw@cipher.nrlssc.navy.mil> that he does not set NEEDS_LIBICONV for Solaris 7. So either one of those commits is totally wrong, or there is some other magic going on where some Solaris installs need it and others don't. Given Brandon's statement and my problems on Solaris 8 with NEEDS_LIBICONV, I am inclined to think the first commit was bogus, and that NEEDS_LIBICONV shouldn't be set for Solaris at all by default. If somebody wants to use iconv and has installed it manually, they can set it in their config.mak. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
