Re: [boost] [Build] How to find a library (ICU)?

Look at how Boost.Regex does it. It also uses ICU.

As I already mentioned:

Boost.Regex ICU library search has a bug -- it does not search correctly debug/release versions when using MSVC compiler.

Also it too tighten to specific platforms/implementations.

So I ask if there is any standard way to do this, as today

lib z ;

I don't know if it's a standard way or not, but in the Sandbox, you can find build_extensions. I use them to specify and build dependencies like zlib, libpng, libtiff, etc. 1) Add the extensions to BOOST_BUILD_PATH += /path/to/exts 2) In Jamfile, add using zlib : X.Y.Z : /path/to/zlib/sources ; Perhaps you'll find them useful.
