How to compile with system-icu on qt 5.9?

Why do the icu detection had to changed?, now it always failed to link with system-icu,

Checking for ICU... 
Trying source 0 (type inline) of library icu ...
=> source failed condition 'config.win32 && !features.shared'.

From the qtbase/config.tests/unix/icu/icu.pro

SOURCES = icu.cpp
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= qt dylib

CONFIG += build_all
CONFIG(debug, debug|release): \
    LIBS += $$LIBS_DEBUG
else: \
    LIBS += $$LIBS_RELEASE

Where do $$LIBS_RELEASE and $$LIB_DEBUG getting the variables?
Old one looks more proper :

win32 {
    CONFIG(static, static|shared) {
        CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
            LIBS_PRIVATE += -lsicuind -lsicuucd -lsicudtd
        } else {
            LIBS_PRIVATE += -lsicuin -lsicuuc -lsicudt
        }
    } else {
        LIBS_PRIVATE += -licuin -licuuc -licudt
    }
} else {
    LIBS_PRIVATE += -licui18n -licuuc -licudata
}

I am compiling with Visual Studio 2017 15.2, shared, x64, release & debug

Found out that i need to explicitly define the ICU include dir with -I ICU_INCLUDE_DIR and for library -L ICU_LIBRARY_DIR after the -icu option. Even tough i have defined the icu include dir on the %INCLUDE% variable and icu library on %LIBRARY% variable.

Hi echelon,

thanks for posting your solution back here.

Could you please mark this topic as solved (via Topic Tools button on the right).
