Note that the same functionality (but with different API) is provided by iconv, which is installed in LFS as a part of Glibc. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &recode-md5sum; Download size: &recode-size; Estimated disk space required: &recode-buildsize; Estimated build time: &recode-time; Additional Downloads Required patch: Recode Dependencies Optional (for the bigauto test) and Dmalloc User Notes: Install Recode by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../recode-&recode-version;-fixes-2.patch && ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-included-gettext && make To test the results, issue: make check. The testsuite will warn about the bigauto test being skipped. The editors did not attempt to run this test to the end, because it uses obsolete Python constructions. Now, as the root user: make install --without-included-gettext: This parameter forces the use of gettext implementation provided by Glibc instead of the very old internal copy. The internal copy produces incorrect output in UTF-8 locales.
