numfmt: a sample program which displays number formatting in C and C++ This sample demonstrates Formatting a number Outputting text in the default codepage to the console Files: main.cpp Main source file in C++ capi.c C version util.cpp formatted output convenience implementation util.h formatted output convenience header numfmt.dsw Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started. numfmt.dsp Windows MSVC project file To Build on Windows 1. Install and build ICU 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\numfmt\numfmt.dsw 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 numfmt directory, e.g. cd c:\icu\source\samples\numfmt\debug 4. Run it numfmt 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 /source/samples/numfmt gmake ICU_PREFIX=/source/samples/numfmt gmake ICU_PREFIX= check -or- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH numfmt 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.
