It looks like the default configuration for the GSRC package
(libextractor, not gnunet) have changed.  Try changing the config.mk
file so that "BUILD_OPTS" is empty.

Carl: this might have been a non-universal change.  I'm having trouble
testing though because libextractor is still not compatible with recent
libav versions (as I reported to them in the past).

Wow, someone's using gsrc! Glad to hear it.

This iconv problem is endemic. Arises because some systems have the iconv

funcions in their libc

While building libextractor, Things to try:
BUILD_OPTS ?= LIBS="-L/opt/gsrc/lib  -liconv -lrt "

where the -L option points to the directory that YOU actually have.

alternatively, remove -liconv from the compile line while it's building.

(easy way is cut and paste the command line that just failed, edit it a

file , and execute the edited version.)

As far as libav goes, I don't know what versions you mean. My ubuntu has

2.8.6 and it compiles, as far as I know, (maybe it silently skipped it, I don't

know). But note libav* comes from ffmpeg, which just got version 3.0.

Untried by me.

As far as "Universal solution" goes, ha ha...
