Re: [bug-libextractor] Libextractor:Cross compilation Error

[Christian Grothoff]

LE generally does not cross-compile; I was not aware that iconv was a problem, 
but the generated code for the printable-extractors certainly prevents 
cross-compilation at this point (you can disable those with 
the --disable-printable).

My best guess for the iconv problem is that your cross-compiler looks for 
iconv.h in a different location and does not find it there.

Good luck!
