Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2017-05-16 11:25:16 UTC

This ebuild currently forcefully uses compilation in C++ 1998 mode due to qt4-build-multilib.eclass having:
append-cxxflags -std=gnu++98

Switching to C++ >=2011 mode would avoid errors in src_configure() phase, but there are later errors in src_compile() phase. Majority of required work would be to make this ebuild build at all in C++ >=2011 mode and is not ICU-specific.

Comment 3 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2017-05-17 18:51:11 UTC

dev-qt/qtwebkit:4[icu] seems to have no reverse dependencies, so this flag could be masked for dev-qt/qtwebkit:4.

It's now masked in the 17.0 profiles, which is where ICU 59 will be unmasked.

So I consider this bug "done". Reopen if you disagree.
