In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\date\date.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 icudate directory, e.g. 31 cd c:\icu\source\samples\date\debug 32 4. Run it (Warning: Be careful, 'date' is also a system command on many systems) 33 .\date 34 35To Build on Unixes 36 1. Build ICU. icudate 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/date 49 50 gmake check 51 -or- 52 53 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 54 date 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. 61 62
