#27641: boost uses icu even without the +icu variant -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: adfernandes@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: boost -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by adfernandes@…): Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
I've just rebuilt boost with the +icu variant on my boxes. Is it perhaps a solution to delete the icu variant and just make the icu port a permanent dependency of boost?
Yes; I've just spent a '''long''' time winding my way through the boost configuration and build system, and it seems that boost doesn't actually configure itself to use or not-use `icu`. Instead, it just adds `icu` to the search path. Since `bzip2`, `expat`, and `zlib` are all taken from MacPorts, it automagically finds `icu` as well. There's no way to stop it. I'm re-building boost now to do this and will commit when tested. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27641#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
