[vbox-dev] Build issues with 4.0.12 and 4.1.2 on OSX Lion

[Arend Dittmer]

Thank you Darshan and Francois for getting back to me. For the build that
fails the linker tries to link with libiconv in
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk:

If I manually run the command in the same directory and force linking with
the macports libiconv it actually builds. The macports library is universal:

SanRafael:VirtualBox-4.0.12_OSE adittmer$ file /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically
linked shared library i386
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit
dynamically linked shared library x86_64

The issue is that libiconv in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk* *does not have
the _libiconv symbol (and the other symbols that are missing which are
_libiconv_open and _libiconv_close) for 64-bit:

SanRafael:VirtualBox-4.0.12_OSE adittmer$ nm -a -arch x86_64
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib | grep libiconv
00000000000fa760 D __libiconv_version
00000000000159a4 T _libiconv_relocate
000000000001599a T _libiconv_set_relocation_prefix
SanRafael:VirtualBox-4.0.12_OSE adittmer$ nm -a -arch i386
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib | grep libiconv
000f5be0 D __libiconv_version
000086af T _libiconv
0000fd7a T _libiconv_close
000158d8 T _libiconv_open
00015dae T _libiconv_relocate
00015d9f T _libiconv_set_relocation_prefix
00008bd9 T _libiconvctl
00008847 T _libiconvlist

I configured with:

./configure --with-openssl-dir=/opt/local --disable-python --disable-java
--disable-docs --target-arch=amd64

and my LocalConfig.kmk looks like this:

VBOX_DEF_MACOSX_VERSION_MIN = 10.6
VBOX_DARWIN_NO_COMPACT_LINKEDIT =
VBOX_MACOS_10_5_WORKAROUND =

Thanks again

Arend
