----------
The Unicode Character Database (UCD) Tools is a set of Python tools and a
[C library](src/include/ucd/ucd.h) with a C++ API binding. The Python tools
are designed to support extracting and processing data from the text-based
UCD source files, while the C library is designed to provide easy access to
this information within a C or C++ program.
The project uses and supports the following sources of Unicode codepoint data:
* [Unicode Character Database](http://www.unicode.org/Public/10.0.0/ucd/) 10.0.0
* [Unicode Emoji](http://www.unicode.org/Public/emoji/5.0/) 5.0 (UTR #51)
* [ConScript Unicode Registry](http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/)
## Build Dependencies
In order to build ucd-tools, you need:
1. a functional autotools system (`make`, `autoconf`, `automake` and `libtool`);
2. a functional C and C++ compiler.
__NOTE__: The C++ compiler is used to build the test for the C++ API.
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`).
Additionally, you can use the `UCD_FLAGS` option to control how the data is
generated. The following flags are supported:
| Flag | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| --with-csur | Add ConScript Unicode Registry data. |
