Compiling FFmpeg with libass does nor work with OSX10.8

[Xtophe]

Summary of the bug:

I keep getting the following error when compiling the latest git FFmpeg:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

"_libiconv", referenced from:

_sub_recode in libass.a(ass.o)

"_libiconv_close", referenced from:

_sub_recode in libass.a(ass.o)

"_libiconv_open", referenced from:

_sub_recode in libass.a(ass.o)

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: * [ffmpeg_g] Error 1
make: * Waiting for unfinished jobs....

How to reproduce:
Build with:
./configure --prefix=${SOURCE} --as=yasm --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads --disable-ffplay --disable-ffserver --enable-avfilter --enable-fontconfig --enable-libfreetype --enable-libass --enable-filters --arch=x86 --enable-runtime-cpudetect && make -j 4 && make install

If the full output is needed .. let me know.

Is this also reproducible with the following shorter configure line?
$ ,/configure --enable-libass

What does pkg-config report for libass?
$ pkg-config --libs libass

Workaround should be to pass --extra-ldflags=-liconv

I just found the problem.
Seems it couldn't find "liconv"

Added this to the LDFLAGS and it compiled fine.

But I found another issue when using libass. I will open a new ticket for that.

This can be closed.

Does your original configure line work now?

Yes it does.
