Qt 5.9 MSVC2015 static build with ICU fails
-
I seem to be having problems with building a static version of Qt 5.9.0 from the git repository source.
The problem seems to be with trying to detect the ICU libraries. I have specified the relevant LIB and INC directories allong with -icu for the config options.
However, all I get is a failure to find the ICU libraries during the initial checks.I believe this is because it is not searching for sicu*.lib files which is how the ICU binaries are named when built statically on windows.
Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this?
The same thing also happens if I try to build the 5.9.1 version of the source.
I do however have a working build with 5.7.1 so not sure what has changed with ICU detection since then. -
Hi and welcome to devnet,
Well, the only option that comes to mind is to modify the Qt sources to link to the special named ICU libraries.

@SGaist - Any idear where those changes would need to be made?
I have tried looking in almost every source file but have not found anything that seems to relate to locating the ICU libs.
Previously I have made a similar change to a fork of QtWebKit from annulen which did the same thing, but I just cant see where this is done in Qt source. -
From a quick grep (well quick ag the silver searcher):
qtbase/src/3rdparty/icu_dependency.priqtbase/src/corelib/configure.json
