PHP 5, OS X, fink and iconv

If you want to get the iconv extension properly running with PHP 5 and fink on OS X, you need the following configure option

--with-iconv=/sw/

and then it should work.

Hope that helps others, too.

Yes, that helped a lot :)

./configure --help | grep iconv

  --without-iconv[=DIR]   Exclude iconv support

  --with-iconv-dir=DIR      XMLRPC-EPI: iconv dir for XMLRPC-EPI

Kind of confusing...

In the spirit of http://netevil.org/node.php?uuid=437ad06a-2e9a-3727-5160-37ad06a16aca, it sounds like you should open a bug to add this to config.m4 at http://bugs.php.net.

And probably file a second bug for the documentation to mention this for configuring on OSX.
