Looks like a problem with ICU. We probably need to bump its version for the next release.

Quickfix for now until I bump the ICU version:

# from your build directory
sed -i 's/xlocale/locale/' deps/icu-58.2/src/ExternalICU/source/i18n/digitlst.cpp

Thank you @skystrife it seemed that the above sed command worked!

make // generates above error
sed -i 's/xlocale/locale/' deps/icu-58.2/src/ExternalICU/source/i18n/digitlst.cpp
make

You have to make before executing the sed command

Hi!

Looks like xlocale.h has been removed in glibc 2.26.

See:

Looks like MeTA is using a custom FindICU that hasn't been updated for ~2 years. However, it seems that cmake 3.7 has it's own FindICU. Maybe switching to that will pull in a more up-to-date ICU that has been patched for glibc 2.26?
