dosfstools: FAT filesystem tools

[SergioFLS]

• [☑] I have read Termux policy on package requests.

Package description

The package contains tools that can create (mkfs.fat), check (fsck.fat) and label (fatlabel) FAT filesystems.

There are packages that can create other filesystems (such as util-linux), but none for FAT.

Hello,

is libiconv installed ?

Yes, iconv and libiconv are installed.
Even with these packages installed, the compilation progress still fails, though.

the problem seems to be known: dosfstools/dosfstools#50

i passed the libiconv.a externally when configuring and after the errors are gone .
and whare can i get libudev for mkfs.fat

I have successfully compiled by adding the following lines to the file dosfstools-4.1/src/charconv.c

 #include <locale.h>
 #include <stdio.h>

+#define libiconv_open iconv_open
+#define libiconv_close iconv_close
+#define libiconv iconv
+
 static iconv_t iconv_init_codepage(int codepage)
 {
     iconv_t result;

using LIBS=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libiconv.a ./configure seems to compile successfully too
