Re: Windows build failure...

[Gregory Casamento]

ICU is disabled in this build. If you look at the script which I use to build it uses the --disable-icu flag.  I'm thoroughly confused by this.

Can you share/point me to the scripts you are using to build?

Thanks, GC

I am using the build script in tools-scripts/windows-build to do the compilation.   This is on windows 8.1 using our standard installer and trying to rebuild everything from scratch.

I have also tried deleting my installation and re-installing clean.  This doesn't help either.  I am completely stumped as to why this is happening.   Does anyone have any clue as to why this is not working on the trunk?

I don't have a real clue. I compiled using our own installer on two different computers and it worked fine.
Did you try disabling ICU? i8n is a clue about conflicting headers. The old ICU is not going to work anyway with current GUI.
I had install problems however with ICUs.
Furthermore, I would like to make a new and improved installer for us, with updated libobjc2 and ICU, but I don't know how to replace the components and package them together.
I'll try to sync with Adam once again. I somehow doubt it will solve your issue though.

An alternative is installing a newer ICU
