 ICU is an internationalization library supported by IBM. Home of the project is [[http://www.icu-project.org/]]
-Builds available from ICU site do not support VC6, so we need to build custom library for VC6 support. The modified sources are available from the [[ http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/source/|source repository]]
+To build ICU with native Microsoft tools follow the instructions in the readme.html#HowToBuildCygwin from the source directory. Note that bash, make and several other UNIX tools are needed. Based on experience configure and make scripts strongly require cygwin ports of the tools.
-Builds for 3.6 on VC6 and 3.8.1 on VC9 32 and 64-bit are available from [[http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/]]. Build for 3.8.1 on VS2005 (VC8) is available from [[http://www.icu-project.org/download/3.8.html#ICU4C|ICU site]].
