Re: 1.7.9, libcharset missing from EXTLIBS

Hello,

git 1.7.9 makes use of libcharset and /Makefile contains:

ifdef HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H
        BASIC_CFLAGS += -DHAVE_LIBCHARSET_H
endif
...
and the problem is, that libcharset is not used when linking.  To
solve this, please replace the above extract from /Makefile with

ifdef HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H
        BASIC_CFLAGS += -DHAVE_LIBCHARSET_H
	EXTLIBS += -lcharset
endif

Thanks.

What platform is this?  Is there a guarantee that any and all system that
use "#include <libcharset.h>" has to link with "-lcharset"?

What I am wondering is there are systems that need to include the header,
but locale_charset() does not live in /lib/libcharset.a, in which case we
cannot make HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H imply use of -lcharset.
