Mono 0.30 requires icu-2.6.1 and since there was no matching ebuild I created my own by simply copying icu-2.6.ebuild to icu-2.6.1 and executing "emerge icu-2.6.1.ebuild digest". Perhaps somebody can put this into portage?
Created attachment 24883 [details] My ebuild file (same as 2.6 but different filename)
icu-2.6.1 has problems with gcc3.2 and -O2 (see http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/download/2.6.1/index.html): ----------------- snip --------------- ICU has problems building with gcc 3.x with -O2 optimization level. This is due to a bug in gcc optimization. The problem manifests in inability to build ICU data. The build breaks while building Japanese data with a message like this: ../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 This problem has been reported. The workaround is to use -O3 optimization level
mono 0.30 doesnt require 2.6.1, but 2.6, 2.6.1 has actually been shown to occasionally have issues.
I have the same problems with icu-2.8, icu-2.6.2, icu-2.6. -O3 workaroung does not work.
