Description
bootstrap.sh has some auto-detection code for ICU for the needs of Boost.Regex. It fails to detect ICU installed with the standard package manager on certain Linux distributions, e.g. Ubuntu 14.04. The issue does not exist on newer versions of Ubuntu.
The solution is to use more robust detection of ICU with the help of pkg-config.
The patch is provided on Github on the metaproject.
