Can anyone help me with this?

I couldn't download that dependency either. Use the docker provided here instead, which solved my problem.

Thank you for your suggestion. I am, however, unable to locate the path code/meta in the Msys directory. Where should I copy the docker and the assignment to?

It seems that you're not familiar with docker, maybe you should read something about docker to find out how to use it first, it's very easy. It will offer you a complete environment with the software inside, and you won't need MSYS any more.

Hi there, are the MeTA developers/maintainers planning to provide a fix for this? @Nut-Guo's workaround is nice, but I'm interested in a permanent solution such that the build instructions in the documentation work again as-is. Thanks!

One solution is to modify the CMakeLists.txt file that you get when you clone this repo. Replace the now-outdated ICU url (line #57) with this one:

https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/releases/download/release-58-2/icu4c-58_2-src.tgz
