   9 This sample demonstrates
  10          Opening and closing converters using the C api
  11          String manipulation in C
  12          Writing a custom conversion callback function

  22 To Build ucnv on Windows
  23     1.  Install and build ICU
  24     2.  In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\ucnv\ucnv.sln
  25     3.  Choose a Debug or Release build.
  26     4.  Build.
  27
  28 To Run on Windows
  29     1.  Start a command shell window
  30     2.  Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
  31             set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
  32         (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
  33     3.  cd into the ufortune directory, e.g.
  34             cd c:\icu\source\samples\ucnv\debug
  35     4.  Run it
  36             ucnv
  37     WARNING: The .bin and .txt files must be in the same directory as the executable, which is not the case by default on some systems.
  38
  39 To Build on Unixes
  40     1.  Build ICU.
  41         Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
  42         using the --prefix option.  The steps to build ICU will look something
  43         like this:
  44            cd <icu directory>/source
  45            runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
  46            gmake all
  47
  48     2.  Install ICU,
  49            gmake install
  50
  51     3.  Build
  52            set the variable ICU_PREFIX=<icu install>
  53            gmake all
  54
  55  To Run on Unixes
  56            cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ucnv
  57
  58            gmake check
  59                -or-
  60
  61            export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  62            convsamp
  63
  64
  65  Note:  The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
  66         If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
  67         the variable that is used there.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
  68         for Linux and Solaris.
