8 String manipulation in C
9 Writing a custom conversion callback function

12Files:
13 convsamp.c Main source file
14 flagcb.h codepage output convenience header
15 flagcb.c codepage output convenience implementation
16 ucnv.sln Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started.
17 ucnv.vcproj Windows MSVC project file
18
19To Build ucnv on Windows
20 1. Install and build ICU
21 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\ucnv\ucnv.sln
22 3. Choose a Debug or Release build.
23 4. Build.
24
25To Run on Windows
26 1. Start a command shell window
27 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
28 set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
29 (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
30 3. cd into the ufortune directory, e.g.
31 cd c:\icu\source\samples\ucnv\debug
32 4. Run it
33 ucnv
34 WARNING: The .bin and .txt files must be in the same directory as the executable, which is not the case by default on some systems.
35
36To Build on Unixes
37 1. Build ICU.
38 Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
39 using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something
40 like this:
41 cd <icu directory>/source
42 runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
43 gmake all
44
45 2. Install ICU,
46 gmake install
47
48 3. Build
49 set the variable ICU_PREFIX=<icu install>
50 gmake all
51
52 To Run on Unixes
53 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ucnv
54
55 gmake check
56 -or-
57
58 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
59 convsamp
60
61
62 Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
63 If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
64 the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
65 for Linux and Solaris.
