s, just open the layout project in
  &lt;icu&gt;\source\samples\layout and build it.</p>

  <p>On Linux systems, connect to &lt;top-build-dir&gt;/samples/layout and do
  "make all". To build the layout demo on Linux, you'll need the
  gnome-libs-devel and freetype-devel packages, which should be part of your
  Linux distribution. The demo uses the FreeType 1 library, and the make files
  assume that the FreeType header files are in /usr/include/freetype1, and that
  the freetype library is /usr/lib/libttf.s
