Problems building ICU

Question

I'm trying to build ICU on Solaris Sparc 64 and it's giving me this error when calling make:

* No rule to make target uconvmsg/libuconvmsg.a(uconvmsg/uconvmsg_dat.ao', needed byuconvmsg/libuconvmsg.a'. Stop

But I tried GNU make 3.74 and still getting the same error. Did anyone have the same problem before?

If it helps, using gmake 3.81 worked for me.

ICU

This should probably be a comment, not an answer. – Daniel Aug 15 '13 at 22:50
Thanks for the answer! But I tried 3.8, 3.81, 3.82 and none of them worked! :( – Dao Lam Aug 19 '13 at 16:49

workaround- if you don't need uconv you can configure ICU with --disable-extras (and file a bug)

Thank you! It worked. I got the answer from ICU developers a while ago but was too busy to come back and add an answer. Thanks though. This will be helpful for future developers! – Dao Lam Sep 10 '13 at 01:02
Wow that is awesome. Thank you! I just want to let you know that getting an answer from a developer of ICU is something pretty amazing for a college student like me! :) – Dao Lam Sep 11 '13 at 07:36
@DaoLam well that is part of the benefit of open source software, there is the emphasis on building community. – Steven R. Loomis Sep 12 '13 at 15:16
