This sample demonstrates Using ICU's CharSet Detection API

Files: csdet.c Main source file *.txt Various sample .txt files

To Build uresb on Windows 1. Install and build ICU 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\uresb\uresb.sln 3. Choose a Debug or Release build. 4. Build.

To Run on Windows 1. Start a command shell window 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g. set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH% (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.) 3. cd into the uresb directory, e.g. cd c:\icu\source\samples\uresb\debug 4. Run it (with a locale name, ex. english) csdet eucJP.txt WARNING: The .txt files must be in the same directory as the executable, which is not the case by default on some systems.

To Build on Unixes 1. Build ICU.
Specify an ICU install directory when running configure, using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something like this: cd /source runConfigureICU --prefix [other options] gmake all

2.  Install ICU, 
       gmake install

3.  Compile
       cd <icu directory>/source/samples/uresb
       gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory) ICU_PATH=<icu source directory>

To Run on Unixes cd /source/samples/uresb

       gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory>  check
           -or- 

       export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
       csdet eucJP.txt

Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems. If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name for Linux and Solaris.
