   16 To Build icudate on Windows
   17     1.  Install and build ICU
   18     2.  In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\date\date.sln
   19     3.  Choose a Debug or Release build.
   20     4.  Build.

   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 icudate directory, e.g.
   28             cd c:\icu\source\samples\date\debug
   29     4.  Run it
   30             date
   31 
   32 To Build on Unixes
   33     1.  Build ICU.  icudate 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/date
   46            
   47            gmake check
   48                -or- 
   49 
   50            export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   51            date
   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.
