16To Build on Windows
17 1. Install and build ICU
18 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\numfmt\numfmt.sln
19 3. Choose a Debug or Release build.
20 4. Build.
21
22To Run on Windows
23 1. Start a command shell window
24 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
25 set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
26 (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
27 3. cd into the numfmt directory, e.g.
28 cd c:\icu\source\samples\numfmt\debug
29 4. Run it
30 numfmt
31
32To Build on Unixes
33 1. Build ICU.
34 Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
35 using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something
36 like this:
37 cd <icu directory>/source
38 runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
39 gmake all
40
41 2. Install ICU,
42 gmake install
43
44 3. Compile
45 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/numfmt
46 gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory)
47
48 To Run on Unixes
49 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/numfmt
50
51 gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory> check
52 -or-
53
54 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
55 numfmt
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.
