Comment (by braumann@…):

 I need to tell that I did not find a way to build `doxygen @1.8.10` on
 10.5.8 PPC.

 Replying to [comment:9 cal@…]:
 > I think the problem here may be how libiconv names its symbols. The
 MacPorts version does not deviate from the upstream default and names its
 symbols `libiconv`, but adds a define in the header file that
 transparently renames `iconv` to `libiconv`.

 benefit from that. However since it seems to fail on link because it looks
 for the symbol `iconv_open`, my assumption is that the test is actually
 not done using the correct include path, and the system `iconv.h` is used.

 `doxygen @1.8.10` brings a copy of `iconv.h` which is put under
 `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_doxygen/doxygen/work/doxygen-1.8.10/winbuild`
 after extraction. Under the same folder there are also `iconv.lib` and
 ``iconv64.lib. The two latter are ar-packed object files. I assume both
 were not built for ppc, but for i386 and x86_64, respectively (and both
 contain a definition for `iconv_open`). I wonder why doxygen i) apparently
 is not using libiconv from MacPorts, and ii) why it is not using glibc
 which should also provide an iconv implementation?
