Convert UTF-16 to UTF-8 under Windows and Linux, in C
c, unicode, utf-16, utf-8
Solution
Thanks guys, this is how I managed to solve the 'cross' windows and linux requirement:
- Downloaded and installed: `MinGW` , and `MSYS`
- Downloaded the `libiconv` source package
- Compiled `libiconv` via `MSYS`.
That's about it.
Problem
I was wondering if there is a recommended 'cross' Windows and Linux method for the purpose of converting strings from UTF-16LE to UTF-8? or one should use different methods for each environment? I've managed to google few references to 'iconv' , but for somreason I can't find samples of basic conversions, such as - converting a wchar_t UTF-16 to UTF-8. Anybody can recommend a method that would be 'cross', and if you know of references or a guide with samples, would very appreciate it. Thanks, Doori Bar
