libreoffice 3.5.7_1 and icu-50.1

[Luca Pizzamiglio]

Hi,

I've some trouble to compile libreoffice 3.5.7_1 after icu update to 50.1
version

the problem is located in i18npool module and the error is during the link
phase:

/usr/ports/editors/libreoffice/work/libreoffice-core-3.5.7.2/workdir/
unxfbsdi.pro/CxxObject/i18npool/source/collator/gencoll_rule.o: In function
`sal_main_with_args(int, char**)':
gencoll_rule.cxx:(.text+0x3e5): undefined reference to
`icu_50::UnicodeString::UnicodeString(char16_t const*)'


In details, the source code of i18npool/source/collator/gencoll_rule.cxx
line that creates the problem is the 119:

RuleBasedCollator *coll = new RuleBasedCollator(reinterpret_cast<const
UChar *>(Obuf.getStr()), status);    // UChar != sal_Unicode in MinGW

effectively, objdump confirm a problem with UnicodeString constructors. In
gencoll_rule.o the symbol is:

00000000         *UND*  00000000 _ZN6icu_5013UnicodeStringC1EPKDs

but constructor symbols in /usr/local/lib/libicuuc.so.50.1 are:

00970d0 g    DF .text  00000085  Base
_ZN6icu_5013UnicodeStringC1EPKti
00092590 g    DF .text  00000079  Base

00092690 g    DF .text  0000007e  Base
_ZN6icu_5013UnicodeStringC1EPKc

I've no idea how to fix it, it seems that at compile time the constructor
is recognized, but at link time it doesn't.

My system is STABLE-8 i386.

any suggestion to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Luca
