HI all, I have now installed icu60 in a chroot and try to find what are the equivalent calls to pkg-config.
> > [1] http://userguide.icu-project.org/howtouseicu Interestingly, and I am far from sure that this is correct, is that pkg-config returns *nothing* on --cflags $ pkg-config --cflags icu-uc icu-io $ pkg-config --libs icu-uc icu-io -licuio -licui18n -licuuc -licudata This is with current experimental. In contrast, current sid, what we use for TL building: $ icu-config --cppflags -I/usr/include $ icu-config --ldflags-searchpath --ldflags-libsonly --ldflags-system -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -licui18n -licuuc -licudata -lpthread -ldl -lm Trying to mimic this with pkg-config seems to be a bit tricky. I am not sure whether replacement of icu-config --cppflags with pkg-config --cflags icu-uc icu-io and icu-config --ldflags-searchpath --ldflags-libsonly --ldflags-system with pkg-config --libs icu-uc icu-io is enough, but I will try out at some point... > For other reasons, the actual transition needs months (I expect it in > February, 2018) thus you have time to make the switch. Just one last idea ... icu-config is *still* shipped with upstream. It would be nice if either you or upstream provides a concise guide how to transition to pkg-config, instead of unilaterally removing icu-config from Debian.
