R devel - Feb 2019 - Trying to compile R 3.5.2 - 32 bit R - on Windows 10 64 bit - with ICU support

Hi,

I am trying to compile R with ICU support.

I am following
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Building-from-source

I have downloaded and extracted
https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/goodies/ICU_531.zip
to
W:\R-3.5._\App\R-Portable\ICU

I have modified MkRules.local

# set to use ICU
USE_ICU = YES
# path to parent of ICU headers
ICU_PATH = w:/R-3.5._/App/R-Portable/ICU

I have done

export R_ICU_LOCALE=en_US

When I try to compile ( 32 bit compile ), I am getting these errors.

w:/Rtools35/mingw_32/bin/gcc -std=gnu99 -m32 -shared -s -mwindows -o R.dll R.def

Are you aware that the default R for Windows installation from CRAN
has ICU support?

These instructions are unfortunately outdated. The scripts and
instructions used to build the current version of R for Windows can be
found here: https://github.com/rwinlib/base#readme

That build of ICU was for the previous toolchain (up to R 3.2.5). You
need to use the ICU build which is included with Rtools (if you
checked the icu checkbox during the Rtools installation). The scripts
mentioned above will do this automatically.

Jeroen Ooms,

O.K. thanks.

I will try that.

Yes.
(Actually I am trying to build an R with debugging symbols so that I may
'export' and
load some R internal debugging symbols into gdb.)

Thanks,
Andre

I also build recent versions of R following the documentation, with ICU, 
but have not run into these problems. Normally I use RTools 3.4 but now 
I tested just the build using RTools 3.5 and the linking went fine.

According to the error messages, the linking problems _may_ be due to 
incompatible exception handling in compilers used (e.g. when linking a 
library that has been built by an older version of the compiler than the 
one you are using to link via / build other parts of the application).
