These tools parse Unicode Character Database files and generate
|
|
data files (text, source code and binary) for use in ICU.
|
|
They are used during the Unicode beta period and after a Unicode release.
|
|
|
|
For a log of actions and changes for recent Unicode version upgrades of ICU, see
|
|
http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/browser/icu/trunk/source/data/unidata/changes.txt
|
|
|
|
Since the Unicode 5.2 upgrade, these tools have been moved out of the ICU source
|
|
tree to here. They have not been fully tested and probably need some more work
|
|
and setup. They might benefit from additional shell or Python scripts.
|
|
|
|
There are autoconf makefiles (Makefile.in) and Visual C++ project files (.vcproj)
|
|
in the subfolders. They are copied over from the ICU source tree and will not
|
|
work without modifications. However, I started to use CMake (CMakeLists.txt)
|
|
which is much simpler, and if it works well enough then I plan to just
|
|
delete the old makefiles and project files. The CMake files will currently
|
|
work only on Linux, just because I hardcoded the ICU library filenames
|
|
(e.g., libicuuc.so).
|
|
I should use more variables to make the CMake files more portable, and should
|
|
use ICU's installed icu-config or Makefile.inc to get the values for these
|
|
variables.
|
|
(If and when ICU itself uses CMake, we should be able to point to its modules.)
|
|
|
|
Things will improve as I work on Unicode 6...
