Phantomjs 2.1.1 doesn't build on Freebsd 10.2

[OllieJones]

While trying to build on Freebsd 10.2 the following error crops up after less than a minute.

Running configuration tests...
The ICU library support cannot be enabled.
Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to /usr/home/ollie/phantomjs/build/phantomjs/src/qt/qtbase/configure to see the final report.
If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue
 switch (-continue) to /usr/home/ollie/phantomjs/build/phantomjs/src/qt/qtbase/configure to continue.

ERROR: Failed to build PhantomJS! Configuration of Qt Base failed.

icu version 55.1 appears to be correctly installed.

[OllieJones]

I don't mind working to fix this issue if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Do you have ICU development libraries and header files?

[OllieJones]

Indeed I do have the ICU development stuff. icu-55.1 is installed, using the standard FreeBSD "pkg install icu".

The headers are in /usr/local/include/unicode
and the libs are in /usr/local/lib/libicu*

Does your build require this stuff to be in /usr/ rather than /usr/local/ ?

Thanks.

[ariya]

Yeah, /usr/local is not searched by default. Thus, try:

python build.py --qt-config "-I /usr/local/include/ -L /usr/local/lib/"

[OllieJones]

That's it. Thank you sir.

On FreeBSD 10.2 I have the following error (checked out the 2.1.1 version):

g++ -Wl,-O1 -pthread -o ../../../bin/rcc .obj/rcc.o  .obj/main.o   -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/home/mb/src/phantomjs/src/qt/qtbase/lib -lQt5Bootstrap -lz

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

@OllieJones, did you encounter the same error and if you did, how did you work around it?

[avkarenow]

I have the same problem with g++/ld on FreeBSD 10.3. Any ideas?

Experiencing the same issue on Freebsd 10.3 attempting to build phantomjs using port.

Tried gcc 5.1, gcc46
