Re: Picu: Perl wrappers for ICU (sourceforge cvs issue)

2000-12-14 09:36:33
Has anyone succeeded with anonymous cvs at picu/sourceforge?

I'm a new to sourceforge so I can't tell if they may be having 
system problems or if I need to do something.

Until this is working smoothly I will gladly email the source
(about 50K as an email) to anyone that requests it.

... what _is_ Picu - or rather what is ICU !

Perl wrappers for ICU (PICU) provides Perl access to ICU.  ICU is an
internationalization (i18n) library from IBM which allows the same body
of code to work in many languages (locales). Consider formatting

How easy is it currently to compile ICU itself in a non-AIX non-IBM
environment?  I attempted that a couple of months ago, with little success.

From:

http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/icu/project/tech_faq.html

comes this list:

      PLATFORM and COMPILER
      WinNT 4.0 and Win95, Win98 (MSVC)
      WinNT 4.0 and Win95, Win98 (VisualAge C++)
      Solaris 2.6 (Workshop C++)
      RedHat Linux 6.0 (egcs)
      MacOS 8.1 (CodeWarrior)
      HP-UX 10 and 11 (CC and aCC)
      OS/2 (VisualAge C++)
      AIX (xlC)
      S/390 (CC)

The last .pdf file that I saw that described ICU also mentioned OS/400
(but did seem to confuse that a bit with OS/390).  From the icu mailing
list I see regular postings from a *BSD person and a MacOS Darwin person.

I have not tried it myself yet (sigh).
