            Bug ID: 191473
           Summary: [net-im/ejabberd] Crash at startup due to system
                    libiconv not being linked
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: neil at darlow.co.uk

When ICONV option is selected (default), and FreeBSD version provides libiconv,
this library is not linked
correctly and ejabberd crashes at startup.

How-To-Repeat:
Build net-im/ejabberd from ports with ICONV enabled.
Start ejabberd and notice creation of crash dump file and crash log in
/var/log/ejabberd.

Fix:
I have the libiconv port installed (required by other ports) and was able to
force use of the libiconv port
by modifing Makefile like so:

-USES= gmake pkgconfig
+USES= gmake pkgconfig iconv:wchar_t

The addition of iconv:wchar_t causes /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/iconv.mk to create a
LIB_DEPENDS on the
libiconv port.

ejabberd links libiconv from ports correctly and starts without crashing.
