No. I think it's not a difficult task to change the solution configuration of ICU to get the static libs. But I don't know whether I need to specially change the names of resulting static version libs to make them in line with those expected by bjam.
[BTW, bjam is a low-level, and dumb, build engine. You are talking about Boost.Build here].
Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the clarification.
Boost.Build will use icucore.lib on the command line (and similar for
libraries). MSVC does not have a way to explicitly request static or shared variant.
Probably the author of the bjam building scripts can tell immediately
other the
answer without even having a look at the code. :-)
See above.
Thanks for the quick answer. What I meant is that I guess the static lib of icucore is possible to need a trailing 's' or so to cooperate with regex, just as a postfix of 'd' is often used to mark the debug version of a lib.
Static version of the unicode-enabled regex is not a must-have of me so
far.
Any time that becomes the case, I will have a more deeper test.
Thank you all for your help.
I'd suggest that you and John figure out what behaviour is right. Implementing pretty much everything is trivial, but I don't know anything about ICU so don't know what's right.
I think the support of static ICU-enabled regex would make regex more seamless. That being said, I guess John is the right person to figure it out. :-) B/Rgds Max
