Build failed on a fresh Rocky 8.10

[mildis]

Hi,

I'm desperately trying to build 2.4.6.2 on a fresh Rocky 8.10 setup.
Dependencies are installed, autogen.sh and configure succeed.
During make, message generation seems to fail despite .a files being created :

genrb number of files: 3
Unable to open or read "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/icu/pkgdata.inc" option file. status = U_FILE_ACCESS_ERROR
sh: oma.c : commande introuvable
-- return status = 32512
Failed to compile oma.c
sh: ./bin_mkltfs.: No such file or directory
-- return status = 32512
Error generating library file. Failed command:   ./bin_mkltfs. ./bin_mkltfs_dat.o
Error generating package data.

$ file messages/libbin_ltfs_dat.a 
messages/libbin_ltfs_dat.a: ELF 32-bit MSB *unknown arch 0x300* (SYSV)

This lead to build failing

Do you have any tip for the build to succeed ?

Thanks.

One, It looks the message Unable to open or read "/usr/lib... is printed by genrb command provided from ICU package. Please contact to the ICU project.

Two, could you provide a log of the procedure below for fetching error message of the linker ?

1. cd src/libltfs
2. gcc -shared -fPIC -DPIC .libs/libltfs_la-ltfs.o .libs/libltfs_la-ltfs_internal.o .libs/libltfs_la-ltfs_fsops.o .libs/libltfs_la-ltfs_fsops_raw.o .libs/libltfs_la-ltfssnmp.o .libs/libltfs_la-fs.o .libs/libltfs_la-xml_common.o .libs/libltfs_la-xml_writer.o .libs/libltfs_la-xml_reader.o .libs/libltfs_la-xml_writer_libltfs.o .libs/libltfs_la-xml_reader_libltfs.o .libs/libltfs_la-label.o .libs/libltfs_la-base64.o .libs/libltfs_la-tape.o .libs/libltfs_la-iosched.o .libs/libltfs_la-dcache.o .libs/libltfs_la-kmi.o .libs/libltfs_la-pathname.o .libs/libltfs_la-index_criteria.o .libs/libltfs_la-xattr.o .libs/libltfs_la-ltfslogging.o .libs/libltfs_la-ltfstrace.o .libs/libltfs_la-ltfs_thread.o .libs/libltfs_la-config_file.o .libs/libltfs_la-plugin.o .libs/libltfs_la-periodic_sync.o arch/.libs/libltfs_la-uuid_internal.o arch/.libs/libltfs_la-filename_handling.o arch/.libs/libltfs_la-time_internal.o arch/.libs/libltfs_la-arch_info.o arch/.libs/libltfs_la-errormap.o -lfuse -luuid -lxml2 -licuuc -licudata -L/usr/lib64 -lnetsnmpmibs -lsensors -ldl -lrpm -lrpmio -lnetsnmpagent -lm -lnetsnmp -lssl -lcrypto ../../messages/liblibltfs_dat.a ../../messages/libinternal_error_dat.a ../../messages/libtape_common_dat.a -lrt -lpthread -g -O2 -O0 -ggdb -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--as-needed -pthread -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,-z -Wl,now -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,-z -Wl,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,-z -Wl,now -pthread -Wl,-soname -Wl,libltfs.so.0 -o .libs/libltfs.so.0.0.0

I track down the pkgdata error down to make_message_src.sh : error is displayed with -m static but not without this parameter (which then default to common/archive)
I also tried to install libicu50 for compatibility with no luck.

Forcing path of pkgdata.inc as per #153 (comment) is OK, and message generation succeed without error.

There were still the same gcc error in building but #153 (comment) solved the issue.

So to me, it is required to apply #153 to build on Rocky 8 too.
