#43698: In libiconv, renaming of symbols from _iconv to _libiconv. Why?

 Reporter:  cath.gasnier@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect          |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal          |  Milestone:  MacPorts 2.3.0
Component:  ports           |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:  libiconv        |       Port:
----------------------------+--------------------------------
 Fighting for a long time to compile SRILM (a language processing
 software), I realized (using command nm) that the macports libiconv has
 symbols _libiconv, _libiconv_open and _libiconv_close, while the original
 Mac OS X libiconv, in /usr/lib in my case, has symbols _iconv, _iconv_open
 and _iconv_close (so I had to use the library in /usr/lib for my program
 to compile).
 Why this renaming?
