Looks like you're missing libiconv itself.  Various implementations are 
available.  The GNU Project libiconv available here:

    http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/

certainly works on Win32 because I use it myself ;)

If you already have libiconv available, then perhaps the build process 
isn't finding it.  The easiest way to ensure that it is found is to put 
its directory in your LIB environment variable path, e.g.

    SET LIB=%LIB%;C:\libiconv\lib
