to get icu working on Openindiana/Illumos/Solaris ... http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/9390
I downloaded the very latest icu4c from icu-project and then worked through the source till I compiled it ... :) I put a patch on their bug system to get it to compile on Solaris ... although someone would need to check if that actually fixed it for other platforms. I do set PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH before autogen/configure/gmake ... this specific batch of commands is especially annoying because it overrides the default LD_LIBRARY_PATH, rather than setting 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$O/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"' or similar. yeah, it finds icu-config, but it doesn't appear to do anything with the output because if I grep for /opt/icu it can't find it. the only information in config_host.mk related to icu are these 3 lines: export SYSTEM_GENBRK=/opt/icu/bin/genbrk export SYSTEM_GENCCODE=/opt/icu/sbin/genccode export SYSTEM_GENCMN=/opt/icu/sbin/gencmn I then add extra includes and libs to the SOLARINC, SOLARINC_FOR_BUILD, SOLARLIB and SOLARLIB_FOR_BUILD defs. I'm still hoping that I can get a full build of LibreOffice on OpenIndiana, but I'll still have to wait to see if it works after I compile it :) Jon On 19 June 2012 22:26, Eike Rathke <er...@redhat.com> wrote: > Hi Jonathan, > > On Tuesday, 2012-06-19 17:55:09 +0100, Jonathan Adams wrote: > >> Having had trouble getting icu compiled on Solaris with GCC, I >> compiled it out of tree and placed it in /opt/icu on my computer (I >> want to know what specifically needs to attach to non-standard >> libraries on my system for portability) > > We'd like to learn how you solved your problems compiling ICU and why it > didn't compile in-tree :) > Btw, on current master and 3-6 we switched to ICU 49, maybe that solves > your problem already? > >> however I noticed that although LibreOffice is happy to know it exists >> it seems to go out of it's way not to try and include it in any paths >> (LD_LIBRARY or CFLAGS). >> >> whilst I can hack config_host.mk to make sure that it includes >> "-I/opt/icu/include" and set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that it includes >> the /opt/icu/lib, I have an issue with compiling tail_build on certain >> modules because they redefine the LD)LIBRARY_PATH: > > This sounds actually like a mix of --with-system-icu but without icu > being a system library, i.e. not registered with ldconfig.
