Dear Maintainer,
As you confirm icu-config is now deprecated.
But pkgdata in icu-devtools(63.2-2) on deb10 stable is still referring
to icu-config :
$ pkgdata -p bin_mkltfs -m static packagelist.txt
sh: 1: icu-config: not found
sh: 1: icu-config: not found
pkgdata: icu-config: No icu-config found. (fix PATH or use -O option)
required parameter is missing: -O is required for static and shared
builds.
Run 'pkgdata --help' for help.
icu-63.2/source/tools/pkgdata/pkgdata.cpp :
line 2137 -> 2172 :
/* Try calling icu-config directly to get the option file. */
static int32_t pkg_getOptionsFromICUConfig(UBool verbose, UOption
*option) {
#if U_HAVE_POPEN
LocalPipeFilePointer p;
size_t n;
static char buf[512] = "";
icu::CharString cmdBuf;
UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
const char cmd[] = "icu-config --incpkgdatafile";
char dirBuf[1024] = "";
/* #1 try the same path where pkgdata was called from. */
findDirname(progname, dirBuf, UPRV_LENGTHOF(dirBuf), &status);
if(U_SUCCESS(status)) {
cmdBuf.append(dirBuf, status);
if (cmdBuf[0] != 0) {
cmdBuf.append( U_FILE_SEP_STRING, status );
}
cmdBuf.append( cmd, status );
if(verbose) {
fprintf(stdout, "# Calling icu-config: %s\n", cmdBuf.data());
}
p.adoptInstead(popen(cmdBuf.data(), "r"));
[...]
On http://userguide.icu-project.org/howtouseicu, there is an
recommendation about that :
pkgdata uses the icu-config script in order to locate pkgdata.inc. If
you are not building ICU using the supplied tools, you may need to
modify this file directly to allow static and dll modes to function.
Thanks for the good job, keep up with it !
