Compiling ICU

Compiling ICU
Prev	Appendix C. Compiling ICU on GT.M supported platforms	Next

This appendix includes sample instructions to download ICU, configure it not to use multi-threading, and compile it for various platforms. Note that download sites, versions of compilers, and milli and micro releases of ICU may have changed ICU since the embedded dates when these instructions were tested making them out-of-date. Therefore, these instructions must be considered examples, not a cookbook.

Although GT.M uses ICU, ICU is not FIS software and FIS does not support ICU. The sample instructions for installing and configuring ICU are merely provided as a convenience to you.

All GT.M versions prior to V5.3-004 require exactly ICU 3.6, however, V5.3-004 (or later) accept ICU 3.6 or later.

Compiling ICU 4.4 on AIX 6.1

As of November 2011, ICU version 4.4 can be compiled on AIX with the following configuration:

Operating System: AIX

Version: AIX 6.1 64-bit

Compilers: IBM XL C/C++ 10, GNU make 3.80

Installation Instructions

Ensure that system environment variable PATH includes the location of all the compilers mentioned above.
Set the environment variable OBJECT_MODE to 64.
Download the source code of ICU version 4.4 for C from http://site.icu-project.org/download
