This was with icu @4.3.3_0 (current version). If I revert to icu @4.3.1_0, I no longer get the error.

Since port install glade3 installs icu version 4.3.3_0, shouldn't a change be made in the port for glade3 to use 4.3.1_0?

Is there some way to easily re-install but tell macports to stick to icu version 4.3.1_0 during the installation?

Replying to hayes@…:

1. Use the -n option (but this will block other upgrades of dependencies).

or

2. Use a local port icu 4.3.1_0.

I think I'll do the latter.

[vinc17@…]

Indeed, icu 4.3.3 seems to have broken the API (at least for C++): in unicode/ubrk.h,

typedef void UBreakIterator;

was changed to:

typedef struct UBreakIterator UBreakIterator;

I've just posted a message to the icu-support mailing-list about that.

Patch to make webkit build with icu 4.3.3

[mtalexander (Mike Alexander)]

This isn't really an icu problem. They changed (for the better) the definition of UBreakIterator and webkit needs to be changed to conform to this. I imagine this has been (or will be) fixed upstream in webkit, but I made the obvious patch (which is attached) and it seems to work.

Cc Me!

The same problem also happens on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. I do see that the patch has been supplied. But how do I apply this patch? Or when will this patch make it into the ports? Thanks, Teus.

[michael.platzer@…]

I am experiencing the same issue on Snow Leopard as well (just as Teus), and this currently keeps me from installing glade3. So, can you please provide some tipps on how we should apply this patch? Thanks, michael
