   6 This sample demonstrates
   7          Opening and closing converters using the C api
   8          String manipulation in C
   9          Writing a custom conversion callback function

  19 To Build ucnv on Windows
  20     1.  Install and build ICU
  21     2.  In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\ucnv\ucnv.sln
  22     3.  Choose a Debug or Release build.
  23     4.  Build.
  24
  25 To Run on Windows
  26     1.  Start a command shell window
  27     2.  Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
  28             set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
  29         (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
  30     3.  cd into the ufortune directory, e.g.
  31             cd c:\icu\source\samples\ucnv\debug
  32     4.  Run it
  33             ucnv
  34
  35 To Build on Unixes
  36     1.  Build ICU.
  37         Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
  38         using the --prefix option.  The steps to build ICU will look something
  39         like this:
  40            cd <icu directory>/source
  41            runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
  42            gmake all
  43
  44     2.  Install ICU,
  45            gmake install
  46
  47     3.  Build
  48            set the variable ICU_PREFIX=<icu install>
  49            gmake all
  50
  51  To Run on Unixes
  52            cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ucnv
  53
  54            gmake check
  55                -or-
  56
  57            export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  58            convsamp
  59
  60
  61  Note:  The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
  62         If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
  63         the variable that is used there.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
  64         for Linux and Solaris.
