base_deps_meta_version was bumped so that the base dependencies archives for CI
workflows are recreated (we need only the Windows flavours of the
archives updated but such surgical intervention is not supported).
When releasing libzim and libkiwix, we use config native_mixed with is a
mix of static and dynamic linking:
- Dependencies are build as static libraries.
- Released projects (libzim/libkiwix) are build as dynamic libraries,
statically linked to dependencies.
This way, we have only one `.so` file which contain all our needed symbols.
However, this logic is "local" to each project.
This mean that libkiwix is linked **statically** to libzim.
So libkiwix.so is containing libzim symbols.
But on "java-libkiwix", we are both linking to libzim.so and libkiwix.so.
If the version of the (dynamically) used libzim.so is not the same that the
version on which we have (statically) linked libkiwix.so, we end with
symbols of two different versions being loaded and conflicting.
So let's rebuild libkiwix with last version of libzim to avoid this conflict.
ICU is used to:
- List locales (`locales_tree`)
- Get information about those locales in different languages (`lang_tree`)
- Remove accents (`translit`)
Tracing ICU without custom data, we also load `likelySubtags` and
`metadata`. Not sure why and what happen when missing but let's be
conservatives and include them.
We don't have a version 13.0.0 for libkiwix.
So the master branch of libkiwix is generating version 12.1.1.
We must use the correct version as we try to fix the rpath on macos
and we we don't have the right version, we fail because the lib file
doesn't exist.
