[ArchLinux][GCC6.3.1] Unable to compile version 57.0.2987.133

Hi,

I've been trying to compile inox but keep getting a compilation error about i18n:

Evidently it has something to do with GCC 6.3.1 C++ header file not having that function/constructor anymore:

The output above is when I used clang-4.0, I get the same error when using GCC 6.3.1. I tried using gcc5 but couldn't figure how to generate the Ninja build system to use the right binaries.

[Lourens-Rich]

And inox-bin don't work with new version of icu (59.1-1)

[hv15]

I've also tried using gcc5 with my patch for the PKGBUILD, but it fails are the same point. Likely this has to do with what @Lourens-Rich has found, the icu has changed.

Edit: Also my patch allows for using clang to compile instead of GCC. You just need to change the dependency list and arguments to the build system generator.

Thanks for reporting. Should be fixed with the latest inox version

I'm closing this issue because inox 58.x is out. If this is still an issue feel free to reopen it.
