Double-click this to get started. date.vcproj Windows MSVC project file To Build icudate on Windows 1. Install and build ICU 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\date\date.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 icudate directory, e.g. cd c:\icu\source\samples\date\debug 4. Run it (Warning: Be careful, 'date' is also a system command on many systems) .\date To Build on Unixes 1. Build ICU. icudate is built automatically by default unless samples are turned off. Specify an ICU install directory when running configure, using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something like this: cd /source runConfigureICU --prefix [other options] gmake all 2. Install ICU, gmake install To Run on Unixes cd /source/samples/date gmake check -or- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH date 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.
