Configure qt 4.8.6 for embedded

[jbarnesweb]

I configured and built qt from source with a patch for a log spew (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-27017) for an embedded arm platform.

When I run an app, I see warnings in the stderr about not finding libicui18n that were not there before. The library was never on the file system. We have a previous pre-built qt 4.8.6 for which I don't have the configure log. The following is my configure line and what is printed during configure/make.

Why is there a libicu dependency and how do I get rid of it?

./configure -prefix ${PROJECT_ROOT_DIR}/qt \
-v \
-release \
-opensource \
-shared \
-embedded arm \
-no-fontconfig \
-platform qws/linux-x86-g++ \

Solved by looking at the configure script.

Add -no-icu
