This sample demonstrates Using ICU to determine the properties of Unicode characters

Files: props.cpp Main source file in C++ props.sln Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started. props.vcproj Windows MSVC project file

To Build props on Windows 1. Install and build ICU 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\props\props.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 props directory, e.g. cd c:\icu\source\samples\props\debug 4. Run it props

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/props
       gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory)

To Run on Unixes cd /source/samples/props

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

       export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
       props

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.
