[Nix-dev] libiconv on non-GNU systems

[Sander van der Burg - EWI]

I just removed some of these dirty if system == i686-freebsd lines. They were never consistent. I think the best way of determining whether to use libiconv is to check whether a particular system has glibc and then add libiconv to the buildItems.

Some packages also seem to require libintl on non-glibc platforms, which is part of the GNU gettext package.

Hi!

# grep libiconv all-packages.nix
    libiconv = if stdenv.isDarwin then libiconv else null;
      zlib curl gd postgresql openssl pkgconfig sqlite getConfig libiconv 
libjpeg libpng;
    libiconv = if (stdenv.system == "i686-freebsd") then libiconv else null;
      libiconv = if stdenv.system == "i686-freebsd" then libiconv else null;
      libiconv = if stdenv.system == "i686-freebsd" then libiconv else null;
  libiconv = callPackage ../development/libraries/libiconv { };

Which test should be used instead of all these? I'm going to unify all these 
tests into something like

libiconvPkg = callPackage ...;
libiconv = if ... then libiconvPkg else stdenv.gcc.libc;

Then use libiconv everywhere else without re-checking.
