   4 This sample demonstrates
   5          Using ICU to manipulate UnicodeString objects

   8 Files:
   9     ustring.cpp      Main source file in C++
  10     ustring.sln      Windows MSVC workspace.  Double-click this to get started.
  11     ustring.vcproj   Windows MSVC project file
  12
  13 To Build ustring on Windows
  14     1.  Install and build ICU
  15     2.  In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\ustring\ustring.sln
  16     3.  Choose a Debug or Release build.
  17     4.  Build.
  18
  19 To Run on Windows
  20     1.  Start a command shell window
  21     2.  Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
  22             set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
  23         (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
  24     3.  cd into the ustring directory, e.g.
  25             cd c:\icu\source\samples\ustring\debug
  26     4.  Run it
  27             ustring
  28
  29 To Build on Unixes
  30     1.  Build ICU.
  31         Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
  32         using the --prefix option.  The steps to build ICU will look something
  33         like this:
  34            cd <icu directory>/source
  35            runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
  36            gmake all
  37
  38     2.  Install ICU,
  39            gmake install
  40
  41     3.  Compile
  42            cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ustring
  43            gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory)
  44
  45  To Run on Unixes
  46            cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ustring
  47
  48            gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory>  check
  49                -or-
  50
  51            export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  52            ustring
  53
  54
  55  Note:  The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
  56         If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
  57         the variable that is used there.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
  58         for Linux and Solaris.
