icu-config deprecated
Greg57070 opened this issue · 10 comments
Hello guy,
ltfs can't build on Debian 10 as icu-config has been removed from icu-devtools.
As found on this debian bugreport https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=920900, and on icu-project howto use, icu-config is now deprecated.
It's now recommanded to use pkg-config to get cflags
Thanks for the good job, keep up with it !
BR,

Thank you for your report.
I confirmed the problem and I made a fix to handle ICU_UC package in configure.ac. It works fine but I have another problem on pkgdata program provided by ICU.
It looks the pkgdata uses icu-config internally. I believe Debian shall provide icu-config correctly.
$ pkgdata -p bin_mkltfs -m static packagelist.txt
sh: 1: icu-config: not found
sh: 1: icu-config: not found
pkgdata: icu-config: No icu-config found. (fix PATH or use -O option)
required parameter is missing: -O is required for static and shared builds.
Run 'pkgdata --help' for help.
Hello piste-jp-ibm, when i try to compile on Ubuntu 19.04 i get the same error, icu-config isn´t prensent in the system
Thanks

Hi @Greg57070,
I realized a comment is added to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=920900, I believe you commented.
Thank you very much.
Just to let you know, I have the same problem. LTFS runs well on debian 8 and 9 but on debian 10 I'm getting probably the same errors due to icu no longer being supported.
I attached the Dockerfile I use to build a docker image (I run LTFS in a container but that should not matter I guess).
The build process works if I change the line
FROM debian:buster
in the attached Dockerfile to
FROM debian:stretch
ro
FROM debian:jessie
Hereby also attached the output of the full build process that fails in Debian Buster:

Has anybody figured out a way to compile this in Ubuntu 19 ?
I found a way to make it compilable. At this time, this is a quick patch but I can build LTFS on Ubuntu19.
The pkgdata command calls icu-config --incpkgdatafile and get a path of pkgdata.inc. So it is good to create a dummy script to return the path of pkgdata.inc file.
On Ubuntu19,
- Create
/usr/bin/icu-config - Write a code to return a path of
pkgdata.incin/usr/bin/icu-config - Set executable bit of
/usr/bin/icu-config
The sample script for Ubuntu19 is
#!/bin/sh
echo '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/icu/pkgdata.inc'May be you need to adjust the path on your machine.
I am getting this:

is this related to this issue ?
No, I don't think it is related directly. But I might miss something to write in the previous comment...
My build step is little bit tricky at this time. I will try to enhance this later if no one post a PR about this.

I wrote a minimal script to support ltfs build on Debian10 and Ubuntu19.10. And also I made build environemts on GitHub Actions.

Hi. In my Ubuntu 20.04 environment I had to add -ldl to to the flags for errors related to 'dlopen'
