#46469 [Com]: Incorrect information about compiling ICU

ID: 46469 Comment by: grhoten at gmail dot com Reported By: grhoten at gmail dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Unix PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: While you're at it, you might as well update the requirements and the link to the ICU web site on www.php.net/manual/en/unicode.setup.php The current ICU web site is now www.icu-project.org I heard that 3.8 or 3.8.1 is now required for recent versions of PHP. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-03 03:21:52] grhoten at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The documentation for www.php.net/manual/en/unicode.installation.php is incorrect. The existing documentation will create a conflict with system installed versions of ICU for other packages that expect ICU to be thread safe. If you use ICU 3.8.1 or later, these commands should be used instead. ./configure --enable-weak-threads make install If another applications accidentally uses PHP's ICU, there won't be a thread safety issue if these commands are used instead, and PHP will retain its single usage threaded model. The other three enable configure options are irrelevant since they are already enabled and probably aren't used by PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46469&edit=1
