19To Build on Windows
20 1. Install and build ICU
21 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\numfmt\numfmt.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 numfmt directory, e.g.
31 cd c:\icu\source\samples\numfmt\debug
32 4. Run it
33 numfmt
34
35To Build on Unixes
36 1. Build ICU.
37 Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
38 using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something
39 like this:
40 cd <icu directory>/source
41 runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
42 gmake all
43
44 2. Install ICU,
45 gmake install
46
47 3. Compile
48 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/numfmt
49 gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory)
50
51 To Run on Unixes
52 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/numfmt
53
54 gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory> check
55 -or-
56
57 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
58 numfmt
59
60 Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
61 If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
62 the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
63 for Linux and Solaris.
