  12     coll.c                      Main source file
  13     coll.sln                    Windows MSVC workspace.  Double-click this to get started.

  15
  16 To Build coll on Windows
  17     1.  Install and build ICU
  18     2.  In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\coll\coll.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 coll directory, e.g.
  28             cd c:\icu\source\samples\coll\debug
  29     4.  Run it
  30             coll [options*] -source source_string -target target_string
  31
  32 To Build on Unixes
  33     1.  Build ICU.  coll is built automatically by default unless samples are turned off.
  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  To Run on Unixes
  45            cd <icu directory>/source/samples/coll
  46
  47            gmake check
  48                -or-
  49
  50            export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  51            cal
  52
  53
  54  Note:  The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
  55         If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
  56         the variable that is used there.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
  57         for Linux and Solaris.
