Firebird sql port

[julien Touche]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a port for Firebird SQL database and the corresponding perl bindings but I got a problem.
While I can manage to compile it outside of macports, it doesn't work though macports architecture
See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42128

I had a discussion with the binary package maintainer of Firebird for MacOS X and he doesn't understand either.

I get the following errors

It's the recommendation of the maintainer to use included icu and not the system one.

Any hints?

Thanks.
Cheers,
