ICU for C/C++ 4.4.2 is ready to be built.
=== Important Notes: ===
Data Packaging: library
 This means: ICU data will be linked with ICU. A shared data library will be built.
 To locate data: ICU will use the linked data library. If linked with the stub library located in st
ubdata/, the application can use udata_setCommonData() or set a data path to override.
Building ICU: Use a GNU make such as make to build ICU.
checking the version of "make"... 3.81 (we wanted at least 3.80)
ok


If the result of the above commands looks okay to you, go to the directory
source in the ICU distribution to build ICU. Please remember that ICU needs
GNU make to build properly...

the same. and the dll is working.




Reading makefile `../icudefs.local' (search path) (don't care) (no ~ expansion)...
make stops here.
in d:\1\icu4c-4_4_2-src\icu\source\icudefs.mk, comment:
#-include $(top_builddir)/icudefs.local
not working. but use mingw32-make instead, it's working.




make -d
  -d                          Print lots of debugging information.
