GNU LIBICONV-1.13.1 standalone toolchain compile error time_t not recognized

[dom]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to cross compile the GNU libiconv-1.13.1 library using the
Android standalone toolchain. I am using Android level 8 for this.
After copying the latest config.guess and config.sub scripts from the
GNU auto tools website I was able to configure the library.

I get a compile error when I do a make. The complier error is as
follows:

make[5]: Leaving directory `/data/proto/distro/commonc++/branches/
0.6.4-dti.3x/libiconv-1.13.1'

It seems like time_t is not defined in the standalone toolchain's
header files. Does anyone have any idea if there is a fix or
workaround for this? Thanks.

Hi, i'm porting QGIS to android, and I'm stuck compiling libiconv,
with the same error as the OP. Does anybody know how to solve this
time_t problem?

thanks a lot

Hi all, It looks like my last post did not go out. I'm porting QGIS to android and I'm using ndk r5c to crosscompile all, I managed to get geos, gdal, proj4, qwt, and others to cross compile properly but now I'm stuck with libiconv. I get the same error as the OP.
can anybody help me?
thanks a lot

Hello,

While I think this is an ndk issue that needs some fix, I experienced
similar issue and got a workaround that omits bin (tools) builds.
I haven't really tried to use it though.

I just hit this too. It looks like libiconv uses gnulib which will
create a fallback stdint.h under the srclib/ directory during ./
configure. That fallback header then wreaks havoc because the android
toolchain itself provides headers that expect to include stdint.h and
they are being forced to include the one generated during ./configure
resulting in a circular dependency and sys/types.h doesn't get
included with the time_t typedef.

After delving a bit into the sysm4/stdinc.m4 file I luckily found it's
possible to override the gnulib macro so it never writes out a
fallback stdint.h if you set gl_cv_header_working_stdint_h=yes

So my full configure line is now:
gl_cv_header_working_stdint_h=yes ./configure --host=arm-linux-
androideabi

That seems to get things building for me with libiconv-1.14

I hope that helps,
regards,

Robert, this is super welcome!!! I had dropped libiconv foer the moment
and just started this morning looking into it. now it builds properly THX
