3The genren.pl script is used to generate source/common/unicode/urename.h header file, which is needed for renaming the ICU exported names.
4
5This script is intended to be used on Linux, although it should work on any platform that has Perl and nm command. Makefile may need to be updated, it's not 100% portable.
6
7It also does not currently work well in an out-of-source situation.
8
9The following instructions are for Linux version.
10- urename.h file should be generated after implementation is complete for a release.
11- the version number for a release should be set according to the list in source/common/unicode/uvernum.h
12
13Before generating urename.h, the layout engine header files must be installed from the harfbuzz project.
14This is prerequisite for the icu layoutex (Paragraph Layout) project, which is subject to renaming.
15(Using the svn command is the simplest way of getting just the files from one subdirectory of the git project.)
16
17    cd icu4c/source
18    svn export https://github.com/behdad/icu-le-hb/trunk/src layout
19
20- Regenerate urename.h
21
22    cd icu4c/source/tools/genren
23    make install-header
24
25- urename.h will be updated in icu/source/common/unicode/urename.h  **in your original source directory**
26- Warnings concerning bad namespace (not 'icu') on UCaseMap can be ignored.
27- Eyeball the new file for errors
28
29    cd icu4c/source
30    svn diff common/unicode/urename.h
31
32- Other make targets here
33
34    clean      - cleans out intermediate files
35    urename.h  -just builds ./urename.h
