Thanks for trying it out!

Do you have iconv installed?

If so, does applying the patch below and putting:

EXTRA_CABAL_CONFIGURE_FLAGS = --extra-include-dirs=/some/path --extra-lib-dirs=/some/other/path

(where /some/path and /some/other/path are the paths to the iconv
header and library respectively) in mk/build.mk before you start the
build work?


Thanks
Ian
