Static build complication on Linux due to OpenSSL and ICU

[ariya]

Compared to 1.x, PhantomJS 2.0 has exhibits some problem when being built statically to produce the official Linux binaries.

[ariya]

When the binary is built on Centos 6.6 and tested on Ubuntu 12.04, there will be this error:

As a comparison, ldd on PhantomJS 1.9.8 statically built binary on Ubuntu 12.04 gives the following:

ICU upstream bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-38445

[vitallium]

@ariya, found the problem. Starting commit - 8d23afb

[ariya]

@vitallium Do you mean that the mentioned commit start to introduce the broken build?

[vitallium]

@ariya yes, check the line 162 https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/blob/2.0/src/qt/preconfig.sh#L162 I assume it should be just openssl.

[vitallium]

With openssl, I got this on Ubuntu 14.04:

@vitallium Good news! Now we just need to solve the ICU library...

[kenips]

@ariya isn't ICU bug fixed in 5.3.1? Or we're talking about something else?

[ariya]

@kenips Can you elaborate?

[kenips]

hey @ariya I thought the ICU bug is https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-38445, which is fixed in 5.3.1, isn't it?

[ohenak]

Want to bring this up again as my team is depending on PhantomJS 2.0 for testing.
However, I am not expert in this. How can I help verifying one static build is working, what is the metric of testing we are looking at?

If I simply do ./build.sh and it completed successfully, does it mean I can copy over to other machines to test?

[AkeemMcLennon]

@ohenak From my understanding, that should theoretically work across similar environments. (e.g. all machines running the same version of Ubuntu).

[achiang]

I do think ICU was fixed in 5.3.1, but Ubuntu 14.04 has an older version:

libqt5core5a:amd64 5.2.1+dfsg-1ubuntu14.2
