Problems building ICU

Question

I'm trying to build ICU on Solaris Sparc 64 and it's giving me this error when calling make:

* No rule to make target uconvmsg/libuconvmsg.a(uconvmsg/uconvmsg_dat.ao', needed byuconvmsg/libuconvmsg.a'. Stop

There seems to be a bug with make 3.8.2 that causes this: http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-November/031740.html

But I tried GNU make 3.74 and still getting the same error. Did anyone have the same problem before?

Answer 1

workaround- if you don't need uconv you can configure ICU with --disable-extras (and file a bug)

Answer 2

If it helps, using gmake 3.81 worked for me.
