Aegisub build output log.
Comment 2 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-07-25 13:21:18 UTC 
There is no maintainer for the port, can you provide a patch?
Comment 3 Jordan Irwin 2014-07-25 21:29:49 UTC 
I'll see what I can do. No guarantees. I'm an amateur. ;)
Comment 4 Thomas Zander freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-07-27 09:40:49 UTC 
aegisub writes a config.log in its work directory during the configure stage. This should give you an indication where this link problem may originate.

I just tried to reproduce this problem, also on 10.0 amd64, but I get a successful build:
...
checking whether the Boost::Locale library is available... yes
checking for exit in -lboost_locale... yes
...
and everything progresses as normal.

Build output of Aegisub

/usr/local/lib/libboost_locale.so: undefined reference to `libiconv_open'

libiconv-1.14_3 is installed. It seems that Aegisub (or a dependency) is trying to call a libiconv function that doesn't exist.

Full log is attached.
Comment 6 Jordan Irwin 2014-07-27 11:36:17 UTC 
It looks like the problem is in the libboost_locale library:

  /usr/local/lib/libboost_locale.so: undefined reference to `libiconv'
  /usr/local/lib/libboost_locale.so: undefined reference to `libiconv_close'
  /usr/local/lib/libboost_locale.so: undefined reference to `libiconv_open'

The installed version of libiconv doesn't seem to have these functions. Could libboost_locale have been built against a different version of libiconv? I'll try re-building libboost_locale.
Comment 7 Thomas Zander freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-23 17:21:15 UTC 
Could you verify?
Comment 8 Jordan Irwin 2014-09-22 03:30:46 UTC 
I'm getting a different error now. But it is still related to libboost_locale:

/usr/local/lib/libboost_locale.so: undefined reference to `libiconv'
/usr/local/lib/libboost_locale.so: undefined reference to `libiconv_close'
/usr/local/lib/libboost_locale.so: undefined reference to `libiconv_open'

Comment 9 Thomas Zander freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-22 16:16:32 UTC 
Actually, it is the exact same error as in comment #6, and I still don't see this build failure. All dependent ports were built using default OPTIONS. Maybe you changed something there?
Comment 10 Jordan Irwin 2014-09-23 01:24:14 UTC 
Ya, I didn't use default options.
