Procedures for building ICU4J data from ICU4C data on a Unix system:
1. Download and build ICU4C. For more instructions on downloading and building
ICU4C, see the ICU4C readme at:
http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/tags/release-3-8/readme.html#HowToBuild
2. In your shell, navigate to $icu4c_root/source/tools/genrb. $icu4c_root is
the root directory of ICU4C source package.
3. Create a new file named "Makefile.local" in this directory. In this file
set the ICU4J_HOME variable to be the root path of ICU4J.
Ex: ICU4J_HOME=/home/srl/icu4j
4. If there are spaces in your Java bin directory path (which is especially
common using cygwin)
(EX: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_15/bin), you may need to
set GENDTJAR_JARHOME in Makefile.local. On a standard Unix based system,
with the Java bin directory in your PATH, this step is not required.
You can set GENDTJAR_JARHOME by hard coding the path to the Java
bin directory.
For example, on Cygwinc (notice the backslash used for the space):
GENDTJAR_JARHOME=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_15/bin
5. In this same directory $icu4c_root/source/tools/genrb,
run the command 'make build-icu4j'
6. Build the resources target of the ICU4J ant build to unpack the jar files
with the following commands:
cd $icu4j_root
ant resources
********************************************************************************
If the above procedure fails to work, you may attempt to use the
old procedure which uses less automation & path "guessing":
1. Download and build ICU4C. For more instructions on downloading and building
ICU4C, see the ICU4C readme at:
http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/tags/release-3-8/readme.html#HowToBuild
2. Change directory to $icu4c_root/source/tools/genrb. $icu4c_root is the root
directory of ICU4C source package.
3. Run gendtjar.pl from that directory itself with the command:
./gendtjar.pl --icu-root=$icu4c_root --jar=$jdk_home/bin
--icu4j-root=$icu4j_root
e.g.
./gendtjar.pl --icu-root=$HOME/icu4c --jar=/usr/local/bin/java/bin/ --icu4j-root=$HOME/icu4j
Execution of gendtjar.pl script will create the required jar files in
$icu4c_root/source/tools/genrb/temp and then copy them to their
final locations in the ICU4J structure:
$icu4j_root/src/com/ibm/icu/impl/data
and
$icu4j_root/src/com/ibm/icu/dev/data.
4. Build resources target of ant to unpack the jar files
with the following commands:
cd $icu4j_root
ant resources
Note: if gendtjar.pl does not work, the --verbose option can help in
debugging why it went wrong.
