  13 To Build coll on Windows
  14     1.  Install and build ICU
  15     2.  In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\coll\coll.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 coll directory, e.g.
  25             cd c:\icu\source\samples\coll\debug
  26     4.  Run it
  27             coll [options*] -source source_string -target target_string
  28
  29 To Build on Unixes
  30     1.  Build ICU.  coll is built automatically by default unless samples are turned off.
  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  To Run on Unixes
  42            cd <icu directory>/source/samples/coll
  43
  44            gmake check
  45                -or-
  46
  47            export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  48            cal
  49
  50
  51  Note:  The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
  52         If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
  53         the variable that is used there.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
  54         for Linux and Solaris.
