On linux fedora F11 x86_64 I get this warning:
bjam -sICU_PATH=/usr -sEXPAT_INCLUDE=/usr -sEXPAT_LIBPATH=/usr/lib64 -- layout=tagged threading=single,multi stage
warning: ICU shared common library not found in path. hint: If the regex library fails to link then try again with the environment variable ICU_LINK set to contain the linker options required to link to ICU. Defaulting to look for libicuuc ... LINUX warning: ICU shared data library not found in path. hint: If the regex library fails to link then try again with the environment variable ICU_LINK set to contain the linker options required to link to ICU.
1. bjam should know to look in /usr/lib64 for all system libs 2. Is this just a harmless warning, or will the build be incorrect?
I assume that the compiler knows to look in that location? Presumably simply using: bjam -sHAVE_ICU=1 ie *without* setting ICU_PATH should just do the right thing without the warnings? ICU_PATH is there for situations where the ICU library is not already in the compiler's search paths (ie on Windows), and that shouldn't be the case on Linux. HTH John.
