4This sample demonstrates
5 Using ICU to manipulate UnicodeString objects

8Files:
9 ustring.cpp Main source file in C++
10 ustring.sln Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started.
11 ustring.vcproj Windows MSVC project file
12
13To Build ustring on Windows
14 1. Install and build ICU
15 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\ustring\ustring.sln
16 3. Choose a Debug or Release build.
17 4. Build.
18
19To Run on Windows
20 1. Start a command shell window
21 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
22 set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
23 (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
24 3. cd into the ustring directory, e.g.
25 cd c:\icu\source\samples\ustring\debug
26 4. Run it
27 ustring
28
29To Build on Unixes
30 1. Build ICU.
31 Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
32 using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something
33 like this:
34 cd <icu directory>/source
35 runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
36 gmake all
37
38 2. Install ICU,
39 gmake install
40
41 3. Compile
42 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ustring
43 gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory)
44
45 To Run on Unixes
46 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ustring
47
48 gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory> check
49 -or-
50
51 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
52 ustring
53
54
55 Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
56 If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
57 the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
58 for Linux and Solaris.
