ICU usage is outdated
goodmami opened this issue · comments
On a modern system (in my case, Manjaro Linux as of September 2022), the ./configure command fails with the following message:
checking ICU library usability... no
configure: error: required ICU library are missing
This can be bypassed by using the following instead:
CXXFLAGS="-DU_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE=1"` ./configure
It seems there could be a change in the code or possibly the m4 macros to fix the issue more permanently: https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/icu4c/build.html#recommended-build-options
