Double-click this to get started. ustring.vcproj Windows MSVC project file To Build ustring on Windows 1. Install and build ICU 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\ustring\ustring.sln 3. Choose a Debug or Release build. 4. Build. To Run on Windows 1. Start a command shell window 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g. set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH% (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.) 3. cd into the ustring directory, e.g. cd c:\icu\source\samples\ustring\debug 4. Run it ustring To Build on Unixes 1. Build ICU. Specify an ICU install directory when running configure, using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something like this: cd <icu directory>/source runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options] gmake all 2. Install ICU, gmake install 3. Compile cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ustring gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory) To Run on Unixes cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ustring gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory> check -or- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ustring Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems. If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name for Linux and Solaris.
