I am not needing parrot (just checking its state) but compilation failed. Don't know if it is expected or not. In any case, this might be useful:
../data/locales/ja.txt:15: parse error. Stopped parsing with U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR
couldn't parse the file ja.txt. Error:U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR
make[1]: *** [../data/out/build/icudt26l_ja.res] Error 3
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ambs/Junk/Parrot/parrot/icu/source/data'
make: *** [blib/lib/libicuuc.a] Error 2
It's odd, but try this:
1) cd into icu/source/data
2) Edit the Makefile. Look for this:
$(BUILDDIR)/$(ICUDT)%.res: $(INDEX_FILES) $(TOOLDIR)/genrb/genrb$(EXEEXT)
ICU_DATA=$(BUILDDIR) $(INVOKE) $(TOOLDIR)/genrb/genrb $(GENRBOPTS) -p $(ICUDATA_PLATFORM_NAME) -d $(BUILDDIR) $(INDEX_FILES)
Add this: -i $(BUILDDIR) right before: -d $(BUILDDIR)
so that you have:
$(BUILDDIR)/$(ICUDT)%.res: $(INDEX_FILES) $(TOOLDIR)/genrb/genrb$(EXEEXT)
ICU_DATA=$(BUILDDIR) $(INVOKE) $(TOOLDIR)/genrb/genrb $(GENRBOPTS) -p $(ICUDATA_PLATFORM_NAME) -i $(BUILDDIR) -d $(BUILDDIR) $(INDEX_FILES)
3) While in same directory, execute:
make ENABLE_STATIC=
(yes, there's nothing to the right of the "=".)
If that succeeds, then we need to patch icu/source/data/Makefile.in to add that. If it still fails, try one more thing: add a slash, so that you have:
-i $(BUILDDIR)/
instead of:
-i $(BUILDDIR)
and then try the "make ENABLE_STATIC=" again.
If it's still failing, then something else is going on.
If it is, then there's one more thing to try:
1) cd into icu/source/data/out/build
2) Execute this (which will create ja.res in /var/tmp if it succeeds):
../../../tools/genrb/genrb -k -s ../../locales -i . -d /var/tmp ja.txt
If that succeeds, then the above should have also works. If it fails, then send me the message it outputs, which should be similar to your above-reported output, but with a little additional diagnostic information.
Thanks,
