[Mono-list] icu-config error

[Daniel Alonso]

Hello,

I'm just a newbie in C# and mono. I just downloaded mono-0.29 to start
with. I faced a small problem when building because ld was not finding a
function belonging to libicu (u_strlen_2_6).

The problem is that make is not able to expand icu-config in my Suse
box. For some reason icu-config expects an environment variable named
ENABLE_RPATH to be defined. But by default this is not the case. Then
icu-config --whatever always exits with "unknown --enable-rpath", so
make is not even able to expand say icu-config --libs or whatever it is.

Simply by defining ENABLE_RPATH="N" I was able to fix this problem.

I don't know why Suse does not create this variable when installing the
icu rpms, for the case somebody else face this problem, why not adding
to the configure process a test of the existence of this environmente
variable?

Best regards.
