52* Where can I find more sample code?
53
54 - The "uconv" utility is a full-featured command line application.
55 It is normally built with ICU, and is located in icu/source/extra/uconv
56
57 - The "icuapps" CVS module contains other applications and libraries not
58 included with ICU. You can check it out from the CVS command line
59 by using for example, "cvs co icuapps" instead of "cvs co icu",
73c04bcf 60 or through WebCVS at http://dev.icu-project.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/icuapps/

63* How do I build the samples?
64
65 - See the Readme in each subdirectory
66
67 To build all samples at once:
68

A
69 Windows MSVC:
70 - build ICU
71 - open 'all' project file in 'all' subdirectory
72 - build project
73 - sample executables will be located in /x86/Debug folders of each sample subdirectory
74

A
75 Unix: - build and install (make install) ICU
76 - be sure 'icu-config' is accessible from the PATH
77 - type 'make all-samples' from this directory
78 (other targets: clean-samples, check-samples)
79 Note: 'make all-samples' won't work correctly in out of source builds.
80
81 - legacy and layout are not included in these lists,
82 please see their individual readmes.
