Re: ICU (AS/400)

[George R. <gr...@us...>]

While it hasn't been done with ICU before, have you considered using gcc 
or some other compiler on as/400?  If you don't have any compiler, you're 
out of luck (that would seem odd, since I wouldn't know how you would use 
ICU4C).  What compiler are you using for your applications?  Have you 
considered using that one?

Whatever the case is, you will have to do some work porting ICU to this 
platform.  Some tests still fail on this platform.  Some of them aren't 
serious test failures.  Some of them may be serious depending what tests 
failed.  It would be nice if you submitted any patches for as/400 to work 
with your compiler.  That way it will be easier for you and others to use 
future versions of ICU.

If you're compiling ICU 2.0.  Be sure to download the latest patch for 
as/400 from the download page.

ICU 2.1 will be released in a few weeks.  If you want to help us port ICU 
2.1 to the as/400 (iSeries) platform, that would help us out a lot.

George ,

I want to use ICU 2.0 on AS/400 .. but am not able to build the same due 
to
unavailablity of "ILE C++" compiler (as specified in the documentation) 
with
me.

Any help/clues to get around this problem would be most welcome.


Thanks & Regards,
Rajat Bawa
