----------
The Unicode Character Data (UCD) Tools is a library for working with the
Unicode Character Data from unicode.org.
It provides a compact replacement for various wide-character C APIs. These can
be used in Android applications, as the Android C library does not have full
wide-character support.
In addition to this it provides APIs for:
- querying the [Unicode General Category](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/) values and groups;
- querying the [ISO 15924](http://www.unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html) script;
- converting to upper, lower and title case.
The following data sets are used for the data tables:
- [Unicode Character Data 6.3.0](http://www.unicode.org/Public/6.3.0/ucd/);
- [Klingon](http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/klingon.html) [F8D0-F8FF].
## Build Dependencies
In order to build ucd-tools, you need:
1. a functional autotools system (`make`, `autoconf`, `automake` and `libtool`);
2. a functional c++ compiler.
To build the documentation, you need:
1. the doxygen program to build the api documentation;
2. the dot program from the graphviz library to generate graphs in the api documentation.
### Debian
Core Dependencies:
| Dependency | Install |
|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| autotools | `sudo apt-get install make autoconf automake libtool` |
| c++ compiler | `sudo apt-get install gcc g++` |
Documentation Dependencies:
| Dependency | Install |
|------------|---------------------------------|
| doxygen | `sudo apt-get install doxygen` |
| graphviz | `sudo apt-get install graphviz` |
## Building
UCD Tools supports the standard GNU autotools build system. The source code
does not contain the generated `configure` files, so to build it you need to
run:
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
The tests can be run by using:
make check
The program can be installed using:
sudo make install
The documentation can be built using:
make html
## Updating the UCD Data
To re-generate the source files from the UCD data when a new version of
unicode is released, you need to run:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-unicode-version=VERSION
make ucd-update
where `VERSION` is the Unicode version (e.g. `6.3.0`).
