[Bug 766188] Error building pkg-config: Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_iconv"

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #4 from Elvis Dowson <elvis.dowson at gmail.com> ---
The following steps allowed me to build gstreamer-1.0 on Mac OS X 10.11.4 using
Xcode-7.3.0 :

01. Completely disable MacPorts by temporarily renaming .profile to
.profile_bak

02. Install CMake-3.5.3 binary from cmake.org. Set the path to cmake 

PATH="/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin":"$PATH"

make is required for some packages like the vpx encoder.

03. Clone cerbero, and work from the master branch.

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/sdk/cerbero sdk/cerbero
cd sdk/cerbero
git checkout master

04. Edit config/osx-x86-64.cbc to have the following entries: 

from cerbero.config import Architecture

target_arch=Architecture.X86_64
prefix='/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0'

recipes_commits = { 
'gstreamer-1.0' : '1.8.1', 
'gstreamer-1.0-static' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-plugins-base-1.0' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-plugins-base-1.0-static' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-plugins-good-1.0' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-plugins-good-1.0-static' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-plugins-bad-1.0' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-plugins-bad-1.0-static' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-plugins-ugly-1.0' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-plugins-ugly-1.0-static' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-libav-1.0' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-libav-1.0-static' : '1.8.1', 
'gnonlin-1.0' : '1.8.1', 
'gnonlin-1.0-static' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-editing-services-1.0' : '1.8.1', 
'gst-rtsp-server-1.0' : '1.8.1', 
}

I had some trouble building the Universal build earlier, so I did't both to try
and reproduce the issue, since it doesn't make sense to build for the i386
architecture anymore on Mac OS X 10.11.4 using Xcode 7.3.0

05. Create a file ~/.cerbero/cerbero.cbc with the following contents:

import os
from cerbero.config import Platform, Architecture, Distro

packages_prefix = 'gstreamer-sdk'
packager = 'GStreamer SDK packagers <packages at gstreamer.com>'
prefix = '/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0'

git_root = "git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer-sdk"

# Uncomment to allow parallel builds
allow_parallel_build = True

# Uncomment this to allow cross-building for another architecture
# target_arch = Architecture.X86_64

06. Use the following commands to build gstreamer-1.0

./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap
./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/osx-x86-64.cbc package gstreamer-1.0
