Could you report the problem to the developers of icu so they can fix it? Alternately, we can mark icu as requiring Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

Dear all,

in the course of the upgrade to icu 53.1 (defect #43959) there have been some additional changes in the port file like "enable-rpath". I assume the changer has an OSX version after 10.5 and wanted to optimize some things, but it seems that those changes are not really necessary to build icu 53.1.

Maybe the port file can be enhanced to check for Tiger and then leave out the rpath stuff.

Best regards, Thomas

It has been reported last week and has this ticket: ​http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/10954.

The upstream ticket has been closed as "workingasdesigned": "The answer is don't use rpath on that old version. We don't really support ICU on such an old version."

It wasn't my idea to use this modern software, it was port's idea. It told me that this software has to be upgraded.

Cc Me! It looks like this recent change has now broken 10.5.8 intel

Error: org.macports.destroot for port icu returned: icu-config differs in /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_icu/icu/work/destroot-powerpc//opt/local/bin and /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_icu/icu/work/destroot-intel//opt/local/bin and cannot be merged

That's a completely different problem. See #45268.

Meanwhile I have icu @54.1_0 active on PPC Tiger.
