Short: character set conversion library Author: Bruno Haible Uploader: megacz usa com Type: dev/lib Version: 1.9.2 Requires: 68020+/os2.04+/ixemul48+ Architecture: m68k-amigaos libiconv-1.9.2 --------------- GNU LIBICONV - character set conversion library This library provides an iconv() implementation, for use on systems which don't have one, or whose implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode. --- NEWS: - [28-12-08] ixlibrary ID has been changed to the one that can be found in: http://megacz.back2roots.org/A2IXREGISTRY , if you dont use 'ixemul' 48.3 then you have to find non-collisious ID in range of 0 to 99 and patch it with 'ixidset' from 'ixidtools'. --- NOTES: - finally, i found a way to compile that bastard, it requires ~104 megs of memory to build, but i have only 32! - all tests passed, so the library is fully functional. - im very doubtfull about usefulness of this library on Amiga, so decided to hack it a little bit and made cropped version without support for Asia. cropped version does not contain 'CJK' stuff, thus it is much smaller - just perfect to be linked statically, but there is also a shared version. ; please note that 'JOHAB' is not usable - it will give an error, i had to leave init part of that encoding coz it is hardcoded into 'lib/iconv.c'. ; cropped source code can be found in 'cropped/chunks/'. ; so in general it supports all multibyte and 8bit encodings and all transliterations. - dont forget to edit '*.la' files and set paths of your choice, coz '/usr/local' location might not be a good idea. --- my email: megacz@usa.com
