[fpc-pascal] FreeBSD failure compiling fpdoc 2.7.1

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

Below is the script I use to compile FPC 2.7.1. I am using FPC 2.6.0
(I noticed it is still allowed for a while, even though 2.6.2 is out).


--------------[ go.sh ]--------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/bash

TARGET=x86_64-freebsd
COMPILER=/data/devel/fpc-2.6.0/$TARGET/bin/ppcx64

gmake clean
gmake all -j 5 FPMAKEOPT="-T 8" FPC=$COMPILER
gmake install INSTALL_PREFIX=/data/devel/fpc-2.7.1/$TARGET/ FPC=$COMPILER
------------------[ end ]---------------------


The compiling of fpdoc fails with a linking error. Unable to find
libiconv, but what exactly is it looking for? If you look further down
my email, the libiconv *is* installed on my FreeBSD system, in the
usual location of /usr/local/lib/

So what am I missing, to resolve this compilation issue?
