Member "icu/source/samples/readme.txt" of archive icu4c-4_0-src.tgz:

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.

   47 * Where can I find more sample code?
   48 
   49  - The "uconv" utility is a full-featured command line application.
   50     It is normally built with ICU, and is located in icu/source/extra/uconv
   51 
   52  - The "icuapps" CVS module contains other applications and libraries not
   53     included with ICU.  You can check it out from the CVS command line
   54     by using for example,  "cvs co icuapps" instead of "cvs co icu",
   55    or through WebCVS at http://dev.icu-project.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/icuapps/
   56 
   57 ==
   58 * How do I build the samples?
   59 
   60  - See the Readme in each subdirectory
   61 
   62  To build all samples at once:
   63 
   64     Unix:   - build and install (make install) ICU
   65             - be sure 'icu-config' is accessible from the PATH
   66             - type 'make all-samples' from this directory 
   67                (other targets:  clean-samples, check-samples)
   68            Note: 'make all-samples' won't work correctly in out of source builds.
   69 
   70             - legacy and layout are not included in these lists,
   71                    please see their individual readmes.
