- Dependencies</h2>
- <ul>
- <li>ICU library 3.6 or above is strongly recommended</li>
- <li>If no ICU library is given, iconv support is required under POSIX platforms.</li>
- </ul>
- <h2><a class="anchor" id="bb_platform_opts"></a>
- Platform Notes</h2>
- <ul>
- <li>If you use Boost.Locale on Windows with MinGW/GCC < 4.5 you'll be able to use static version only. Mingw/GCC prior to 4.5 have no support of dynamic runtime linking.<br/>
- Using Boost.Locale DLL's with MinGW gcc also requires dynamic linking with the runtime libraries libstdc++ and libgcc. Some gcc builds use static linking by default so make sure you use correct link options with your compiler when you build your own programs.</li>
- <li>The AIX's iconv misses important character sets that Boost.Locale requires, so you need to either use GNU iconv or link with ICU library.</li>
- <li>If iconv library is not found on Darwin/Mac OS X builds make sure there is no multiple iconv installations and provide -sICONV_PATH build option to point to correct location of iconv library.</li>
- </ul>
- <h2><a class="anchor" id="bb_building_proc"></a>
- Building Process</h2>
- <p>Now all you need to do is invoke bjam command:</p>
- <pre class="fragment">./bjam --with-locale stage
- </pre><p>Or on Windows </p>
- <pre class="fragment">.\bjam --with-locale stage
- </pre><p>If you are using custom ICU build or you are using Microsoft Windows you need to provide a path to location of ICU library using <code>-sICU_PATH</code> option</p>
- <p>For example:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>If your icu build is placed at <code>/opt/icu46</code> such that the files are placed like<br/>
- <code>/opt/icu46/include/unicode/uversion</code>.h<br/>
- <code>/opt/icu46/include/unicode/calendar</code>.h<br/>
- <code></code>... <br/>
- <code>/opt/icu46/lib/libicudata</code>.so <br/>
- <code>/opt/icu46/lib/libicui18n</code>.so <br/>
- <code></code>... <br/>
- then you need to provide an option <code>-sICU_PATH=/opt/icu46</code> <pre class="fragment"> ./bjam --with-locale -sICU_PATH=/opt/icu46 stage</pre></li>
- <li>If your icu build is placed at <code>c:\icu46</code> such that the files are placed like <br/>
- <code>c:\icu46\include\unicode\uversion.h</code> <br/>
- <code>c:\icu46\include\unicode\calendar.h</code> <br/>
- <code>...</code> <br/>
- <code>c:\icu46\bin\icudt.dll</code> <br/>
- <code>c:\icu46\bin\icuin.dll</code> <br/>
- <code>...</code> <br/>
- <code>c:\icu46\lib\icudt.lib</code> <br/>
- <code>c:\icu46\lib\icuin.lib</code> <br/>
- <code>...</code> <br/>
- then you need to provide an option <code>-sICU_PATH=c:\icu46</code> <pre class="fragment"> .\bjam --with-locale -sICU_PATH=c:\icu46 stage</pre></li>
- </ul>
- <dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>Don't forget to put both debug and release versions of ICU libraries in this path when using Microsoft Visual Studio so Boost.Build will link correctly debug and release versions of boost_locale library.</dd></dl>
- <h1><a class="anchor" id="bb_build_opts"></a>
- Build Options</h1>
- <p>Boost.Locale supports following options with values <code>off</code> or <code>on</code> </p>
- <ul>
- <li><code>boost.locale.icu=off</code> disable build of ICU backend even if ICU library exists</li>
- <li><code>boost.locale.iconv=off</code> or <code>boost.locale.iconv=on</code> enable or disable use of iconv library. It is off by default on Windows and Solaris</li>
- <li><code>boost.locale.winapi=off</code> - disable winapi backend, it is on by default on Windows and Cygwin</li>
- <li><code>boost.locale.std=off</code> or <code>boost.locale.winapi=on</code> Disable or enable std backends. <code>std</code> backend is disabled by default when using Sun Studio.</li>
- <li><code>boost.locale.posix=on</code> or <code>boost.locale.posix=off</code> Enable or disable support of POSIX backend, it is on by default on Linux and Mac OS X</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Also Boost.Locale supports following options</p>
- <ul>
- <li><code>-sICU_PATH=/path/to/location/of/icu</code> - the location of custom ICU library</li>
- <li><code>-sICONV_PATH=/path/to/location/of/iconv</code> - the location of custom iconv library</li>
- </ul>
- <p>For example:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Build the library on Windows with ICU backend only: <pre class="fragment"> .\bjam boost.locale.winapi=off boost.locale.std=off -sICU_PATH=c:\icu46 --with-locale stage</pre></li>
- <li>Build the library on Linux with std backend only <pre class="fragment"> .\bjam boost.locale.posix=off boost.locale.icu=off --with-locale stage</pre></li>
- </ul>
- <h1><a class="anchor" id="bb_build_test"></a>
- Running Unit Tests</h1>
- <p>You can run unit tests by invoking <code>bjam</code> with <code>libs/locale/test</code> project parameter </p>
- <pre class="fragment">./bjam libs/locale/test
- </pre><h1><a class="anchor" id="binary_compatibility"></a>
- Binary Compatibility</h1>
- <p>Boost.Locale is built with binary compatibility in mind. Switching localization back ends on or off, or using iconv or not, does not affect binary compatibility. So if a dynamic library was built with all possible backends, other dynamic libraries compiled with, for example, only the <code>std</code>, <code>posix</code> or <code>winapi</code> backends would still be binary-compatible with it.</p>
- <p>However this definitely has an effect on some features. For example, if you try to use boundary analysis or a calendar facet when the library does not support the icu backend you would get an exception. </p>
