I am attempting to build JavaScriptCore for my own embedded application use. I noticed that Mac and iOS JavaScriptCore have a dependency on a library called libicucore.
When I build ICU myself from the , I get a handful of different icu libraries, but nothing named "core". While I can get a working JavaScriptCore built against my ICU libraries (I need icuuc, icui18n, and icudata), my final binary size is huge due to the ICU libraries I link in. I tried statically linking my icu libraries, but the smallest my binary gets is about 30MB per architecture. When I dynamically link ICU, I can tell that the major contribution of the bloat is due to the ICU libraries. Looking at Apple's icucore binary, it is about 6.5MB for 3 architectures which is tiny compared to my 3 icu libraries. I'm speculating that Apple ripped out all the stuff they don't need and merged in all the parts they do need into the single libicucore. Can somebody confirm this is what Apple did, and can somebody tell me how I can reproduce that? (I did try downloading Apple's 10.9 source for ICU from MacOSForge, but it built the normal ICU stuff and not libicucore, nor did I notice any special build options.)
