Convert UTF-16 to UTF-8 under Windows and Linux, in C

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

Thanks guys, this is how I managed to solve the 'cross' windows and linux requirement:

  1. Downloaded and installed: MinGW , and MSYS
  2. Downloaded the libiconv source package
  3. Compiled libiconv via MSYS.

That's about it.
