As a special service "SfR Fresh" has tried to format the requested source page into HTML format using source code syntax highlighting with prefixed line numbers. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file. That can be also achieved for any archive member file by clicking within an archive contents listing on the first character of the file(path) respectively on the according byte size field.

   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.

   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.
