[icu-support] RBBI Setup for Word Break and File Reading via ustdio.h

[Robert M C. <rob...@gm...>]

Would like some help on setting up a custom RBBI file on my own local
ICU setup, if you all don't mind.

Here is what I have done so far, but without results...

Created an RBBI file (with a simple rule). Set up brkfiles.mk to point
to the file.

Used the break sample in ICU, except set it to the lo_LA locale using
Locale("lo","LA") in the create...Instance, and supplied a Lao string to
parse. After running and 'make' and 'make install' after the changes,
ICU seems to compile and install fine.

I tested the string using the program and have the same results (doesn't
look like the rules are being applied). Is there a way to see if the
rules are being applied? Are there other places I need to configure for
the rbbi rules to be seen? Any hints or suggestions?

Thanks
