If you are +on a GNU system, then this is provided by the GNU C Library. Some +other systems also provide a working <code>iconv</code>. +</p> +<p>If <small>GDB</small> is using the <code>iconv</code> program which is installed +in a non-standard place, you will need to tell <small>GDB</small> where to +find it. This is done with <samp>--with-iconv-bin</samp> which specifies +the directory that contains the <code>iconv</code> program. This program is +run in order to make a list of the available character sets. +</p> +<p>On systems without <code>iconv</code>, you can install GNU Libiconv. If +Libiconv is installed in a standard place, <small>GDB</small> will +automatically use it if it is needed. If you have previously +installed Libiconv in a non-standard place, you can use the +<samp>--with-libiconv-prefix</samp> option to <samp>configure</samp>. +</p> +<p><small>GDB</small>’s top-level <samp>configure</samp> and <samp>Makefile</samp> will +arrange to build Libiconv if a directory named <samp>libiconv</samp> appears +in the top-most source directory. If Libiconv is built this way, and +if the operating system does not provide a suitable <code>iconv</code> +implementation, then the just-built library will automatically be used +by <small>GDB</small>. One easy way to set this up is to download GNU +Libiconv, unpack it inside the top-level directory of the <small>GDB</small> +source tree, and then rename the directory holding the Libiconv source +code to ‘<samp>libiconv</samp>’. +</p> +</dd> +<dt>lzma</dt> +<dd><p><small>GDB</small> can support debugging sections that are compressed with +the LZMA library.

If the LZMA library is available in +the usual place, then the <samp>configure</samp> script will use it +automatically.
