11Files:
12 props.cpp Main source file in C++
13 props.sln Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started.
14 props.vcproj Windows MSVC project file
15
16To Build props on Windows
17 1. Install and build ICU
18 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\props\props.sln
19 3. Choose a Debug or Release build.
20 4. Build.
21
22To Run on Windows
23 1. Start a command shell window
24 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
25 set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
26 (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
27 3. cd into the props directory, e.g.
28 cd c:\icu\source\samples\props\debug
29 4. Run it
30 props
31
32To Build on Unixes
33 1. Build ICU.
34 Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
35 using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something
36 like this:
37 cd <icu directory>/source
38 runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
39 gmake all
40
41 2. Install ICU,
42 gmake install
43
44 3. Compile
45 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/props
46 gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory)
47
48 To Run on Unixes
49 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/props
50
51 gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory> check
52 -or-
53
54 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
55 props
56
57
58 Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
59 If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
60 the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
61 for Linux and Solaris.
