I C U - A P P S ----------------- This package contains sample applications built using the ICU. For more information on the ICU: URL: http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/icu/ Email: icu4c@us.ibm.com If you have an application that is written using the ICU that you would like to contribute, see the contact information above. BUILDING -------- *** UNIX (or other command line platforms): 1. Build and install the ICU ('make install'). Make note of the prefix used to build the ICU, which can be set with the '--prefix=' option to it's ./configure. 2. (Run 'autoconf' if there is no configure script.) Run the ./configure script in the icuapps directory. You may need to supply the same '--prefix=XXX' argument that was passed to the ICU. 3. Type 'make' in the icuapps, or 'make install' if you wish. Example: ICU: cd ...somewhere/icu ./configure --prefix=/var/local make install ICUAPPS: cd ...somewhere/icuapps (THIS directory) ./configure --prefix=/var/local make make install (optional) *** Win32 Instructions 1. Project files to be created. 2. For now, you may create your own project file and include the ICU include and lib directories. ========================================== ========================================== THE APPS - uconv From : Jonas Utterstrom Uses : Conversion This program will convert data file(s) from one encoding to another via Unicode. - usort From : Steven R. Loomis Uses : Conversion, Collation There are two parts here. * a shared library (libusort) which makes it simple to sort lines of text. * a command line example program (usort) which will sort lines from the console or the file, similar to UNIX 'sort'. - locexp From : Steven R. Loomis Uses : Conversion, Collation, Chartypes, Formatting, Resource Bundles, ... uconv & usort [above] - Your contribution could be here too! Write: ----------------- (c) 1999 IBM, Inc. and others
