  16 To 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
  22 To 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
  32 To 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.
