Compiling the icu sqlite extension statically linked to icu
icu, sqlite
Solution
This command line worked for me on Linux:
g++ -shared --language c -o libSqliteIcu.so icu.c -I../icu/source/common -I../icu/source/i18n -lpthread -lm -L../icu/source/lib -lsicui18n -lsicuuc -lsicudata -lpthread -lm
Notice the ordering of the library files, and the use of g++ to make sure the c++ runtime is referenced even though we're compiling a C file.
NB. I used the output of `icu-config --prefix=../icu/source --ldflags`.
Problem
I want to compile the icu sqlite extension statically linked to icu. This is what I've tried, maybe the mistake is obvious to you. ``` > cd icu/source > ./runConfigureIcu Linux --enable-static --with-packaging-format=archive ... > make > cd ../../icu-sqlite > gcc -o libSqliteIcu.so -shared icu.c -I../icu/source/common -I../icu/source/i18n -L ../icu/source/lib -lsicuuc -lsicui18n -lsicudata ... > sqlite3 > .load "libSqliteIcu.so" Undefined symbol utf8_countTrailBytes ``` Files icu sqlite extension Download icu.c from sqlite.org ICU 4.2.1 Download ICU4C from icu-project.org My Requirements - Runs on Linux & Windows - Only one file that I have to distribute: `libSqliteIcu.so`. Any idea what else I can try? Documentation - Sqlite ICU extension's readme - ICU's readme
