Openwrt compile with package open-vm-tools throw two error:

ld: cannot find -liconv
ld: cannot find -lintl

• make menuconfig
• check Global build settings -> Compile with full language support to compile libiconv and libintl and the errors throw,

but libiconv and libintl had been compiled into ./staging_dir/target-x86_64_musl/usr/lib/libiconv-full and libintl-full.

since the lib file .so located in subfolder, it must be linked to ./staging_dir/target-x86_64_musl/usr/lib manually.

cd /home/username/openwrt/

find . -name "libiconv.so"
find . -name "libintl.so"

ln -s /home/username/openwrt/staging_dir/target-x86_64_musl/usr/lib/libiconv-full/lib/libiconv.so ./staging_dir/target-x86_64_musl/usr/lib/libiconv.so
ln -s /home/username/openwrt/staging_dir/target-x86_64_musl/usr/lib/libintl-full/lib/libintl.so ./staging_dir/target-x86_64_musl/usr/lib/libintl.so

ls ./staging_dir/target-x86_64_musl/usr/lib/

and error:

ld: warning: libiconv.so.2, needed by /home/username/openwrt/staging_dir/target-x86_64_musl/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

run:

ln -s /home/username/openwrt/staging_dir/target-x86_64_musl/usr/lib/libiconv-full/lib/libiconv.so.2 ./staging_dir/target-x86_64_musl/usr/lib/libiconv.so.2

ok, make again, the errors gone.

another error

Package wget is missing dependencies for the following libraries:
