New: Mtools: Error converting to codepage 850

Bug ID: 12986
Summary: Mtools: Error converting to codepage 850
Product: buildroot
Version: 2020.05
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: melanie at trash-mail.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---

The 'BR2_PACKAGE_MTOOLS' program builds fine but on the target system some of the mtools-commands (i.e. mdir) fails to execute with the following message:

Error converting to codepage 850 Invalid argument

As described in the mtools-manual [1], codepage 850 is used by default. I've solved the problem by adding 'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GLIBC_GCONV_LIBS_COPY=y' to my buildroot-configuration.

From my point of view, the config option 'BR2_PACKAGE_MTOOLS' should automatically select 'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GLIBC_GCONV_LIBS_COPY' to make sure that the required gconv libraries are available on the target system.
