Double-click this to get started. 11 coll.vcproj Windows MSVC project file 12 13 To Build coll on Windows 14 1. Install and build ICU 15 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\coll\coll.sln 16 3. Choose a Debug or Release build. 17 4. Build. 18 19 To Run on Windows 20 1. Start a command shell window 21 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g. 22 set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH% 23 (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.) 24 3. cd into the coll directory, e.g. 25 cd c:\icu\source\samples\coll\debug 26 4. Run it 27 coll [options*] -source source_string -target target_string 28 29 To Build on Unixes 30 1. Build ICU. coll is built automatically by default unless samples are turned off. 31 Specify an ICU install directory when running configure, 32 using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something 33 like this: 34 cd <icu directory>/source 35 runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options] 36 gmake all 37 38 2. Install ICU, 39 gmake install 40 41 To Run on Unixes 42 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/coll 43 44 gmake check 45 -or- 46 47 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 48 cal 49 50 51 Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems. 52 If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of 53 the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name 54 for Linux and Solaris. 55 56
