Subject:

consider using pkg-config instead of icu-config

Copied from github since I track issues on rt.cpan.org. Issue #1 Open 4 comments Labels srl295 opened this issue 7 months ago pkg-config ? No milestone No one is assigned Might consider using (or at least, attempting) "pkg-config ... icu-i18n" instead of icu-config 2 participants tonycoz commented 4 months ago Sorry, I missed this. If you install the ICU development files you should have icu-config, unless recent versions have stopped installing it. I've done the whole 'search really hard for libraries' thing with Imager, and it has too many corner cases for me to want to do it for this module. Closed tonycoz closed the issue 4 months ago srl295 commented 4 months ago ICU hasn't stopped including icu-config, but please consider using pkg-config instead, with the appropriate modules such as icu-uc and icu-i18n … tonycoz commented 4 months ago What advantage is there with pkg-config over icu-config? The main disadvantage I can see is that pkg-config isn't always available, while icu-config always is. Reopened tonycoz reopened the issue 4 months ago srl295 commented 4 months ago pkg-config is standardized and manages dependencies well. icu-config has some issues. ICU will attempt to install its pkg-config files regardless of whether pkg-config itself is installed. …

The latest versions of icu no longer include icu-config by default. This has been rolled out in at least debian and ubuntu disco (19.04), as reported here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=920900 As such, this package no longer installs on these distributions with libicu installed from the package manager.

Thanks for the update, I've release 0.004 which uses pkg-config in preference over icu-config. Tony
