I did it already on the internal list, without much activity but the depressing outlook on c++11 imminent requirement :-( I am not checking it myself, shouldn't be too complicated. Is there a guide *how* icu-config calls need to be translated to pkg-config calls? The m4 code is quite straight-forward: if $ICU_CONFIG --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then ICU_INCLUDES=`$ICU_CONFIG --cppflags` ICU_LIBS=`$ICU_CONFIG --ldflags-searchpath m4_ifset([kpse_icu_config_args], [kpse_icu_config_args ])--ldflags-libsonly --ldflags-system` elif test "x$need_icu:$with_system_icu" = xyes:yes; then AC_MSG_ERROR([did not find icu-config required for system icu libraries]) fi So we need to change that to: if $ICU_CONFIG --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then ICU_INCLUDES=`$ICU_CONFIG --cppflags` ICU_LIBS=`$ICU_CONFIG --ldflags-searchpath m4_ifset([kpse_icu_config_args], [kpse_icu_config_args ])--ldflags-libsonly --ldflags-system` elif $PKG_CONFIG icu-i18n >/dev/null 2>&1; then ICU_INCLUDES=`$PKG_CONFIG icu-i18n --cppflags` .... .. do we only need icu-i18n? other ones? currently -uc, -io are also present ... elif test "x$need_icu:$with_system_icu" = xyes:yes; then AC_MSG_ERROR([did not find icu-config required for system icu libraries]) fi Norbert -- PREINING Norbert http://www.preining.info Accelia Inc. + JAIST + TeX Live + Debian Developer GPG: 0x860CDC13 fp: F7D8 A928 26E3 16A1 9FA0 ACF0 6CAC A448 860C DC13
