#673: Parrot 1.1.0 build on OS X with Fink ICU package
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: urkle | Type: bug
Status: new | Priority: normal
Milestone: | Component: configure
Version: 1.1.0 | Severity: medium
Keywords: | Lang:
Patch: | Platform: darwin
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
On Mac OS X Leopard, the system provides ICU libraries (from Apple),
however, they don't provide the headers (odd?). So, Fink provides an icu-
devel package that includes the headers.. The issue is, the headers are
locate in
/sw/include/unicode
and the libraries are in
/usr/lib
and the shared files are in
/usr/share/icu
You can see how this will cause lots of confusion. The icu-config
provided by the fink package sets the CFLAGS correctly with a
-I/sw/include, however parrot doesn't seem to use that at all.. So I do
this
perl Configure.pl --icuheaders=/usr/include --icushared=/usr/lib
And configure detects ICU, but it doesn't build correctly. there are
frequent errors where I have to manually patch config files and make files
because "/usr/lib" is added directly to the LDFLAGS without the preceding
-L.
I don't recall having this issue with Parrot 1.0.0 on OS X.
Now, if I "symlink" the unicode directory OVER to /usr/include, everything
builds fine without the need to pass any arguments to Configure.pl
