Hi , 

I am trying to create a static library ( for which I have no problems) . I am using this code in another static library that is being linked into the main application. 

I am using XCODE to build and am getting 3 linker errors 

Undefined symbols:

  "_iconv", referenced from:

Anyone have any clues ? 

For libxml, I think that "--with-iconv" is the default when you run ./configure, so it's expecting to link against the iconv library. You disable that by specifying --without-iconv on the configure command line.
