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.
Yes, looks like -sHAVE_ICU=1 works (is this documented?)
