11 To Build on Unixes
12 1. Build ICU. tzdate is not built automatically.
13 Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
14 using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something
15 like this:
16 cd <icu directory>/source
17 runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
18 gmake all
19
20 2. Install ICU,
21 gmake install
22
23 To Run on Unixes
24 cd <icu directory>/source/test/compat
25
26 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
27 gmake
28
29 tzone.pl
30 -This will use the current date.
31 -To use a different date, you must specify by:
32 tzone.pl year month day
33 -All three arguments are integer values
34

36 Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
37 If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
38 the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
39 for Linux and Solaris.
