--- Comment #2 from Thomas Bleher ThomasBleher@gmx.de --- Microsoft patches the ICU library, and thankfully provides the patches as open source: https://github.com/microsoft/icu . I think Wine should use this library as its base.
Windows also installs some files needed by ICU to c:\windows\globalization\icu, notably:
- icudtl.dat - metaZones.res - timezoneTypes.res - windowsZones.res - zoneinfo64.res
Some apps need these files to work properly; AFAIK these files are all derived from ICU data, but I haven't yet tried to reproduce these files from the published repo.
I asked at https://www.winehq.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/wine-devel@winehq.org/thread... how to best add ICU to Wine (since I don't know how best to add a relatively large library like ICU to Wine), but did not receive a reply yet.
