Summary:	[net-im/ejabberd] Crash at startup due to system libiconv not being linked

Description neil 2014-06-29 10:19:50 UTC

When ICONV option is selected (default), and FreeBSD version provides libiconv, this library is not linked
correctly and ejabberd crashes at startup.

How-To-Repeat:
Build net-im/ejabberd from ports with ICONV enabled.
Start ejabberd and notice creation of crash dump file and crash log in /var/log/ejabberd.

Fix:
I have the libiconv port installed (required by other ports) and was able to force use of the libiconv port
by modifing Makefile like so:

-USES= gmake pkgconfig
+USES= gmake pkgconfig iconv:wchar_t

The addition of iconv:wchar_t causes /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/iconv.mk to create a LIB_DEPENDS on the
libiconv port.

ejabberd links libiconv from ports correctly and starts without crashing.

This is still a problem for ejabberd-14.07.

I have revised the earlier fix to modify ICONV_USES as follows:

ICONV_USES= iconv:wchar_t

Hi,

Thanks for the fix. I'll commit after making sure it builds fine on all platforms.
