Dave Cottlehuber updated COUCHDB-1152:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: COUCHDB-1152_move_to_ICU-4_4_2.patch
This patch brings windows CouchDB up to same ICU level as unix, 4.4.x series,
and allows people who need to compile ICU from source to do so.
The original issue for this ticket remains but at least people can compile from
source if needed - e.g. following example is common.
Prebuilt ICU binary DLLs are only available compiled against the release to
manufacturing version of the Visual C++ runtimes.
Recent MS patches for both Visual Studio and security fixes for the runtime now
require compiling ICU against more recent runtimes.
ICU 4.2.1 does not compile against newer runtimes, but ICU 4.4.2 does.
> Windows ICU DLL version is hardcoded to 4.2 in makefiles

> src/couchdb/priv/Makefile.am has hardcoded dependency on ICU DLL 4.2 which is
> untidy nor is it documented in INSTALL.Windows or release notes. Latest
> version, ICU 4.8 will be released end May 2011. Makefile should support
> recent versions of ICU where required, same as on unix.
