buildroot-2011.08, crosstool-ng-1.12.1, and Samba

I've been using buildroot + crosstool-ng targeted for i486 and glibc successfully for some time.

I was asked today to include Samba in my target build. Simple enough. Compiled without issue however both nmbd and smbd segfault on execution. If I run them interactively via the -i flag, I see much of the following:

init_iconv: Conversion from UTF-16LE to CP850 not supported
init_iconv: Attempting to replace with conversion from UTF-16LE to ASCII
init_iconv: Conversion from UTF-8 to CP850 not supported
init_iconv: Attempting to replace with conversion from ASCII to ASCII
init_iconv: Conversion from ANSI_X3.4-1968 to CP850 not supported
init_iconv: Attempting to replace with conversion from ASCII to ASCII
init_iconv: Conversion from CP850 to UTF-16LE not supported
init_iconv: Attempting to replace with conversion from ASCII to UTF-16LE
init_iconv: Conversion from CP850 to UTF-8 not supported
init_iconv: Attempting to replace with conversion from ASCII to ASCII
...

I see no option in buildroot to build libiconv.

Any guidance/assistance is very much appreciated.

Hello Scott,

Thanks for your report!

I guess your system lacks the gconv libraries. For example, in the CodeSourcery toolchains, there are :

thomas at skate:~/x-tools/arm-2011.03$ find . | grep gconv [...] ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/include/gconv.h ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/gconv ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/gconv/IBM939.so ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/gconv/CP1257.so ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/gconv/ISO8859-13.so ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/gconv/GBK.so ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/gconv/EBCDIC-DK-NO.so ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/gconv/ISO8859-6.so ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/gconv/CP1258.so ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/gconv/MAC-UK.so ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/gconv/LATIN-GREEK-1.so [...]

And Buildroot does not copy those files to the target automatically. Maybe we need to extend the toolchain mechanism a bit to provide an option to copy those files. Copying them all unconditionally is unfortunately not really an option: the complete gconv directory contains ~9 MB of libraries.

Which toolchain are you using ?

Ok. So the problem is the one I highlighted. Can you try to copy $(O)/staging/usr/lib/gconv to $(O)/target/usr/lib/gconv and see if Samba works better ?
