Ok, after much gnashing of teeth, I have made *some* progress:
1. Start as clean as possible
A. cd /parrot
B. make realclean
C. cvs update -dP
2. Begin rain dance
A. modify config/gen/icu.pl (remove --disable-dynamic)
$icuconfigureargs = "--disable-layout --disable-tests
--disable-samples --quiet '--prefix=$cwd/blib' --enable-static
--disable-extras '--oldincludedir=$cwd/blib/old'
--with-data-packaging=archive";
B. modify config/init/hints/cygwin.pl
link => 'c++',
C. perl Configure.pl --ccflags=-Iicu/source/common
Fixes a problem with #includes for unicode/<header.h> files
D. make
now fails during the linking:
c++ -o parrot.exe -L/usr/local/lib -g imcc/main.o blib/lib/libparrot.a
blib/lib/libicuuc.a blib/lib/libicuda
ta.a -lcrypt
blib/lib/libicuuc.a(udata.o)(.text+0x745): In function `openCommonData':
/perl/.cpan/build/icu/source/common/udata.c:581: undefined reference to
`__imp__icudt26_dat'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [parrot.exe] Error 1
I have no idea about that error or why ICU appears to be compiled multiple
times.
Any further insight would be greatly appreciated.
