The discussion in oe-core mailing list:<br>
<a href="https://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org/msg65155.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mail-archive.com/<wbr>openembedded-core@lists.<wbr>openembedded.org/msg65155.html</a><br>

The root cause is the native pkgdata can not generate correct icu data<br>
for different endianness. By default, this data is built into the shared<br>
library libicudata that would cause it corrupt. But ICU also provides<br>
additional options for loading the data. With option<br>
--with-data-packaging=archive, ICU outputs a single icudt.dat file which<br>
can be loaded by the library.<br>
See document: <a href="http://userguide.icu-project.org/icudata" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://userguide.icu-project.<wbr>org/icudata</a><br>
<br>
So for big endian system, we can use the separated data file which<br>
re-generates by icupkg and set the correct ICU_DATA environment variable<br>
to make sure the library can load the data without problems.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Fails on various builds on the AB:</div><div><br>icupkg: unable to open input file "TOPDIR/tmp/work/ppc7400-poky-linux/icu/60.1-r0/icu/source/data/in/icudt59l.dat" <br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://errors.yoctoproject.org/Errors/Latest/?filter=%20icu:%20do_install&type=failure">http://errors.yoctoproject.org/Errors/Latest/?filter=%20icu:%20do_install&type=failure</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Ross</div></div></div></div>
