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. | |
