Installation Instructions

  1. Ensure that system environment variable PATH includes the location of all the compilers mentioned above.

  2. Download the source code of ICU (in this example, version 3.6 for C from http://icu.sourceforge.net/download/3.6.html#ICU4C)

  3. At the shell prompt, execute the following commands:

    gunzip -d < icu4c-3_6-src.tgz | tar -xf -
    cd icu/source/
    chmod +x runConfigureICU configure install-sh
    runConfigureICU HP-UX/ACC --disable-64bit-libs? --enable-rpath --disable-threads
    gmake
    gmake check
    gmake install
    
  4. Set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the location of ICU. HP-UX uses the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to search for dynamically linked libraries.

This installs ICU in the /usr/local directory.

[Note]

By default, ICU is installed in /usr/local. If you install ICU in a different directory, type:

  • runConfigureICU HP-UX/ACC --prefix=<install_path> --enable-64bit-libs? --enable-rpath --disable-threads

  • Then execute the gmake commands, and set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the appropriate location.
