[Mono-devel-list] Enabling ICU in order to rebuild NAnt - ICU-config trouble

[Jason King]

Hello,

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth and suggestions by some of the guys
here, I still can't get Mono to ./configure satisfactorily.  Just to
reiterate my problem, I need to get NAnt to rebuild under Mono 0.29, but in
order to do this, Mono needs to have ICU support enabled.

To achieve ICU support, I have installed a variety of ICU files from my SuSE
distro using YaST:

cu 		international components for unicode
icu-data		sources for the data in ICU
icu-i18ndata	sources for data in "icu-locales"
icu-locales	locale data
libicu22		libraries
libicu-devel	development files

Now, when I come to ./configure Mono, the screen output gives me the
following messages:

<snip>
checking for icu-config.../usr/bin/icu-config
/usr/bin/icu-config: Unknown --enable-rpath value
/usr/bin/icu-config: Unknown --enable-rpath value
/usr/bin/icu-config: Unknown --enable-rpath value
<snip> followed by
GC:	included
ICU:	yes. Version:

There is no version number included in the screen output.

The only reason I am trying to do all this ICU stuff is to get NAnt to work,
so if anyone knows of a work around for NAnt, then I will gladly try it.  So
far, I have tried commenting out the code in CompilerBase that calls the
internationalization stuff, but that just throws further errors.

Any takers?

Jase

Hello

I too had problems with this file, but am very grateful for the help from
both Art adn Martin.  In the meantime, I am using YaST on my SuSE set up cds
to install all the ICU packages, but I still get the following message
during ./configure:

....blah blah blah
checking for icu-config.../usr/bin/icu-config
/usr/bin/icu-config: Unknown --enable-rpath value
/usr/bin/icu-config: Unknown --enable-rpath value
/usr/bin/icu-config: Unknown --enable-rpath value

At the end of the screen output for ./configure, I am then presented with:
GC:	included
ICU:	yes. Version:

There is no version number included in the screen output.  As I am both a
Linux newbie (well, relatively new anyway) and an ICU newbie, I have no idea
how to rectify this problem.  Any ideas anyone?

I had trouble compiling the stable release, so I whent for:
development version: 2.8-d01
That version worked for me.
