   9 Procedures for building ICU4J data from ICU4C data:
  10
  11 *Setup*
  12
  13 In the following,
  14         $icu4c_root is the ICU4C root directory
  15         $icu4j_root is the ICU4J root directory
  16         $jdk_bin is the JDK bin directory (for the jar tool)
  17
  18 1. Download and build ICU4C. For more instructions on downloading and building
  19         ICU4C, see the ICU4C readme at:
  20         http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/trunk/readme.html#HowToBuild
  21         (Windows: build as x86, Release otherwise you will have to set 'CFG' differently below.)
  22
  23         *NOTE* You should do a full rebuild after any data changes.
  24
  25
  26 2. Step 2 depends on whether you are on a Windows or a Unix-type
  27 platform.
  28
  29 *Windows*
  30
  31 2a. On the command line, cd to $icu4c_root\source\data.
  32
  33 2b. On the command line,
  34         nmake -f makedata.mak ICUMAKE=$icu4c_root\source\data\  CFG=x86\Release JAR="$jdk_bin\jar" ICU4J_ROOT=$icu4j_root  icu4j-data-install
  35
  36        Continue with step 3 below, in Java:
  37
  38
  39 *Linux*
  40
  41         $icu4c_build is the ICU4C root build directory,
  42         which is $icu4c_root/source in an in-source build
  43
  44 2c. On the command line, cd to $icu4c_build
  45
  46 2d. Do
  47         make JAR=$jdk_bin/jar ICU4J_ROOT=$icu4j_root icu4j-data-install
  48
  49        (You can omit the JAR if it's just jar.)
  50
  51         Continue with step 3, in Java:
  52
  53 Step 2 on either platform will produce two files: icudata.jar and
  54 icutzdata.jar in $icu4j_root/main/shared/data.
  55
  56 *Java*
  57
  58 3. After the ICU4C-side steps above, build the main target of the
  59         ICU4J ant build to unpack the jar files with the following commands:
  60
  61         cd $icu4j_root
  62         ant main
