4The genren.pl script is used to generate source/common/unicode/urename.h header file, which is needed for renaming the ICU exported names.

6This 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.

16Before generating urename.h, the layout engine header files must be installed from the harfbuzz project.
17This is prerequisite for the icu layoutex (Paragraph Layout) project, which is subject to renaming.
18(Using the svn command is the simplest way of getting just the files from one subdirectory of the git project.)
