19To Build icucal on Windows
20 1. Install and build ICU
21 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\cal\cal.sln
22 3. Choose a Debug or Release build.
23 4. Build.
24
25To Run on Windows
26 1. Start a command shell window
27 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
28 set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
29 (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
30 3. cd into the cal directory, e.g.
31 cd c:\icu\source\samples\cal\debug
32 4. Run it

35To Build on Unixes
36 1. Build ICU. icucal is built automatically by default unless samples are turned off.
37 Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
38 using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something
39 like this:
40 cd <icu directory>/source
41 runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
42 gmake all
43
44 2. Install ICU,
45 gmake install
46
47 To Run on Unixes
48 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/cal
49
50 gmake check
51 -or-
52
53 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
54 cal
55
56
57 Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
58 If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
59 the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
60 for Linux and Solaris.
