Re: [Tracker] tracker-extract crashes

[John stacy <tracker indexer gmail com>]

Hello Jurg,

I am using glib-2.0 (Provided by the open embedded group).
My configuration settings for glib-2.0 are as follows. 

./configure  --disable-largefile --disable-ipv6 --disable-nls --disable-debug


To get the iconv support 

I downloaded the libiconv tarball
reinstalled gettext 
and recompiled glib by adding the configration option 	  --with-libiconv

Do I have to do any thing else?

I thought it was working fine on Ubuntu and the issue only occurs on
your distribution?

Windows-1252 is supported by default by iconv in glibc/eglibc. Are you
using a different libc or did you disable some parts of glibc/eglibc?
