Hello,
Hope you can help even if this is more of a GNU make question.
I get the following linker error

Making all in kbx
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/gnupg-1.9.94/kbx'

reference to `libiconv_open'
<cut>
several more undefined references to libiconv, libiconv_open and 
libiconv_close omitted
</cut>

Some more details to help or obsure:

Running GNU/Linux, distro. is SuSE 9.2,
SuSE updated kernel 2.6.8-24.25-default
On Athlon i686 machine

gpg configured with
./configure --enable-noexecstack --enable-dsa2 --enable-m-guard 
--with-gpg-error-prefix=/usr/local --with-libassuan-prefix=/usr/local 
--with-ksba-prefix=/usr/local --with-pth-prefix=/usr/local

--enable-selinux-support --disable-scdaemon --disable-ldap 
--with-dirmngr-pgm=/usr/local/bin/ --with-libintl-prefix=/usr/local 
--with-pinentry-pgm=/usr/local/bin/

Versions:
libgpg-error = 1.4
libassuan = 0.9.3
libksba = 1.0.0
pth = 2.0.7
libiconv = 1.11
libgcrypt = 1.2.3
dirmngr = 0.9.6
pinentry = 0.7.2

If I run gcc directly in kbx (and at the several other points where the same 
type of error occurs) and include "-liconv" I can compile. This is obviously 
seriously dumb way to go about fixing the problem even though I have finished 
the compile that way. The Makefile seems ok, the variables for libiconv are 
pointing to /usr/local (why -rpath?):
LIBICONV = /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib
LTLIBICONV = -L/usr/local/lib -liconv -R/usr/local/lib
and these variables are set in the subdirectories' Makefiles too. I don't know 
enough about the tool-chain to see why "-liconv" isn't passed to gcc.


compiling with
gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)

Thanks,
Nicholas
