I've just been test-compiling the packages which require Berkeley DB, one of which is evolution-data-server. Since that part of gnome has not yet been updated, I tried the version in the book (3.28.0). Bang!
GCC made a suggestion about icu_62, so I looked at fedora : nothing, but they were already using a 3.29 version when they moved to icu 62. Then I looked in git - the fix was back in April, for icu 61. commit 4d53769b4b4c2753f4e7d0a956c6876d6792129a Author: Hussam Al-Tayeb <[email protected]> Date: Mon Apr 16 13:38:33 2018 +0200 Bug 795295 - Fails to compile after icu 61.1 upgrade (icu::UnicodeString) The change is minimal, just a couple of headers. But I won't fix it because I'm sure Douglas or DJ will pick up 3.28.5 which of course includes this fix. Just commenting to show how long things can remain broken. ĸen -- Entropy not found, thump keyboard to continue -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
