在 Windows 上使用 MinGW-w64 编译 ICU 的问题

Question

I tried to compile ICU 59.1 with MinGW-w64 according to Qt manual ( MinGW-64-bit ). Unfortunately, I got the following error:

$ make && make install
rebuilding config/icucross.mk
rebuilding config/icucross.inc
cd ./config; \
        make -f pkgdataMakefile
make[1]: вход в каталог «/c/Qt-deps/icu-59_1/source/config»


*** ERROR - configure could not detect your platform

***   and editing it.

I have tried to compile it twice on two different computers: the 1st one - Windows 10 Pro, the last one - Windows 7 Ultimate. Results are the same. Used tools: MSYS2 x64 (20161025). So, what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The error "configure could not detect your platform" can probably be fixed by passing the arguments --build=$MINGW_CHOST --host=$MINGW_CHOST to the configure script. If you are in the right type of MSYS2 shell, $MINGW_CHOST should be i686-w64-mingw32 or x86_64-w64-mingw32

For more useful tips for building ICU, look at the build script that the MSYS2 developers have crafted:

Answer 2

I have fixed the same issue (except that used ICU 55.1) replacing ../source/config/mh-unknown with the contents of ../source/config/mh-mingw64

Answer 3

I have build icu with same problem. I have run this script for correct the problem:

del M:\work\code\qt\icu4c-68_2\icu4c\source\config\mh-unknow
copy M:\work\code\qt\icu4c-68_2\icu4c\source\config\mh-msys-msvc M:\work\code\qt\icu4c-68_2\icu4c\source\config\mh-unknow
