Re: [Cppcms-users] ICU lib error in building cppcms 64bit environment

[Aris S. <ari...@gm...>]

Before I install my own ICU, there were ICU library in my "/usr/lib64"
folder, but when I run "make" in my "cppcms/buil" folder, there is an
error explain that some dynamic library need libicuuc.a (a static
library). I have remove all libicu*.a and libicu*.so which I just
install in case to repeat that error. They are:

root@aris-laptop:/opt/cppcms/build# cmake ..
-- Looking for ICU libraries
-- ICU Found, building booster locale
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /opt/cppcms/build
root@aris-laptop:/opt/cppcms/build# make
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/libicuuc.a', needed by
`booster/libbooster.so.0.0.0'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [booster/CMakeFiles/booster.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Because of errors above, then I build my own ICU to get static ICU library.

I'm new in linux programming and manual compiling. It is not normal
when a dynamically library links against static archives, isn't it?

What about -fPIC errors? I have ubuntu-amd 64-bit environment. In this
link: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3#doc_chap7
, descibed about -fPIC errors and explained that on certain
architectures (AMD64 amongst them), shared libraries must be
"PIC-enabled". The error produced by "-fPIC errors" is similar to my
error.

How do you think?

Thanks
