Actually - I think I have it working I am using the latest CVS checkout (still 2.8.x). I have gotten parrot to statically link and work - now it is complaining about datafiles (parrot not ICU). This is a problem that I can fix - just need to track down the problem in config/gen/icu.pl As soon as I have a working recipe I will post both here and at the p6.internals list If I run into a dead end, I will of course try the patches Thanks Joshua Gatcomb --- George Rhoten <gr...@us...> wrote: > ICU 2.8 and prior versions are poorly suited for > static libraries on > Windows.
