### To build:
Prerequisites (Unix only):
* GCC 4.2 or newer
* G++ 4.2 or newer
* Python 2.6 or 2.7
* GNU Make 3.81 or newer
* libexecinfo (FreeBSD and OpenBSD only)
Unix/Macintosh:
```sh
./configure
make
make install
```
If your python binary is in a non-standard location or has a
non-standard name, run the following instead:
```sh
export PYTHON=/path/to/python
$PYTHON ./configure
make
make install
```
Prerequisites (Windows only):

build, i18n: improve Intl build, add "--with-intl" The two main goals of this change are: - To make it easier to build the Intl option using ICU (particularly, using a newer ICU than v8/Chromium's version) - To enable a much smaller ICU build with only English support The goal here is to get node.js binaries built this way by default so that the Intl API can be used. Additional data can be added at execution time (see Readme and wiki) More details are at https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/7719 In particular, this change adds the "--with-intl=" configure option to provide more ways of building "Intl": - "full-icu" picks up an ICU from deps/icu - "small-icu" is similar, but builds only English - "system-icu" uses pkg-config to find an installed ICU - "none" does nothing (no Intl) For Windows builds, the "full-icu" or "small-icu" options are added to vcbuild.bat. Note that the existing "--with-icu-path" option is not removed from configure, but may not be used alongside the new option. Wiki changes have already been made on https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation and a new page created at https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl (marked as provisional until this change lands.) Summary of changes: * README.md : doc updates * .gitignore : added "deps/icu" as this is the location where ICU is unpacked to. * Makefile : added the tools/icu/* files to cpplint, but excluded a problematic file. * configure : added the "--with-intl" option mentioned above. Calculate at config time the list of ICU source files to use and data packaging options. * node.gyp : add the new files src/node_i18n.cc/.h as well as ICU linkage. * src/node.cc : add call into node::i18n::InitializeICUDirectory(icu_data_dir) as well as new --icu-data-dir option and NODE_ICU_DATA env variable to configure ICU data loading. This loading is only relevant in the "small" configuration. * src/node_i18n.cc : new source file for the above Initialize.. function, to setup ICU as needed. * tools/icu : new directory with some tools needed for this build. * tools/icu/icu-generic.gyp : new .gyp file that builds ICU in some new ways, both on unix/mac and windows. * tools/icu/icu-system.gyp : new .gyp file to build node against a pkg-config detected ICU. * tools/icu/icu_small.json : new config file for the "English-only" small build. * tools/icu/icutrim.py : new tool for trimming down ICU data. Reads the above .json file. * tools/icu/iculslocs.cc : new tool for repairing ICU data manifests after trim operation. * tools/icu/no-op.cc : dummy file to force .gyp into using a C++ linker. * vcbuild.bat : added small-icu and full-icu options, to call into configure. * Fixed toolset dependencies, see https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/7719#issuecomment-54641687 Note that because of a bug in gyp {CC,CXX}_host must also be set. Otherwise gcc/g++ will be used by default for part of the build. Reviewed-by: Trevor Norris <trev.norris@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Fedor Indutny <fedor@indutny.com>

You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from
[http://nodejs.org/download/](http://nodejs.org/download/). The Windows
and OS X installers will prompt you for the location in which to install.
The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory
with:
```sh
tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
```
Or system-wide with:
```sh
cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \

[Intl](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl) support is not
enabled by default.
#### "small" (English only) support
This option will build with "small" (English only) support, but
the full `Intl` (ECMA-402) APIs. With `--download=all` it will
download the ICU library as needed.
Unix/Macintosh:
```sh
./configure --with-intl=small-icu --download=all
```
Windows:
```sh
vcbuild small-icu download-all
```
The `small-icu` mode builds
with English-only data. You can add full data at runtime.

If icu data is missing print a warning unless either --download=all or --download=icu is set. If set then automatically download, verify (MD5) and unpack the ICU data if not already available. There&#39;s a &#34;list&#34; of URLs being used, but right now only the first is picked up. The logic works something like this: * If there is no directory deps/icu, * If no zip file (currently icu4c-54_1-src.zip), * Download zip file (icu-project.org -&gt; sf.net) * Verify the MD5 sum of the zipfile * If bad, print error and exit * Unpack the zipfile into deps/icu * If deps/icu now exists, use it, else fail with help text Add the configuration option &#34;--with-icu-source=...&#34; Usage: * --with-icu-source=/path/to/my/other/icu * --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu54.zip * --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu54.tgz * --with-icu-source=http://example.com/icu54.tar.bz2 Add the configuration option &#34;--with-icu-locals=...&#34;. Allows choosing which locales are used in the &#34;small-icu&#34; case. Example: configure --with-intl=small-icu --with-icu-locales=tlh,grc,nl (Also note that as of this writing, neither Klingon nor Ancient Greek are in upstream CLDR data. Serving suggestion only.) Don&#39;t use hard coded ../../out paths on windows. This was suggested by @misterdjules as it causes test failures. With this fix, &#34;out&#34; is no longer created on windows and the following can run properly: python tools/test.py simple Reduce space by about 1MB with ICU 54 (over without this patch). Also trims a few other source files, but only conditional on the exact ICU version used. This is to future-proof - a file that is unneeded now may be needed in future ICUs.

Windows:
build, i18n: improve Intl build, add &#34;--with-intl&#34; The two main goals of this change are: - To make it easier to build the Intl option using ICU (particularly, using a newer ICU than v8/Chromium&#39;s version) - To enable a much smaller ICU build with only English support The goal here is to get node.js binaries built this way by default so that the Intl API can be used. Additional data can be added at execution time (see Readme and wiki) More details are at https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/7719 In particular, this change adds the &#34;--with-intl=&#34; configure option to provide more ways of building &#34;Intl&#34;: - &#34;full-icu&#34; picks up an ICU from deps/icu - &#34;small-icu&#34; is similar, but builds only English - &#34;system-icu&#34; uses pkg-config to find an installed ICU - &#34;none&#34; does nothing (no Intl) For Windows builds, the &#34;full-icu&#34; or &#34;small-icu&#34; options are added to vcbuild.bat. Note that the existing &#34;--with-icu-path&#34; option is not removed from configure, but may not be used alongside the new option. Wiki changes have already been made on https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation and a new page created at https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl (marked as provisional until this change lands.) Summary of changes: * README.md : doc updates * .gitignore : added &#34;deps/icu&#34; as this is the location where ICU is unpacked to. * Makefile : added the tools/icu/* files to cpplint, but excluded a problematic file. * configure : added the &#34;--with-intl&#34; option mentioned above. Calculate at config time the list of ICU source files to use and data packaging options. * node.gyp : add the new files src/node_i18n.cc/.h as well as ICU linkage. * src/node.cc : add call into node::i18n::InitializeICUDirectory(icu_data_dir) as well as new --icu-data-dir option and NODE_ICU_DATA env variable to configure ICU data loading. This loading is only relevant in the &#34;small&#34; configuration. * src/node_i18n.cc : new source file for the above Initialize.. function, to setup ICU as needed. * tools/icu : new directory with some tools needed for this build. * tools/icu/icu-generic.gyp : new .gyp file that builds ICU in some new ways, both on unix/mac and windows. * tools/icu/icu-system.gyp : new .gyp file to build node against a pkg-config detected ICU. * tools/icu/icu_small.json : new config file for the &#34;English-only&#34; small build. * tools/icu/icutrim.py : new tool for trimming down ICU data. Reads the above .json file. * tools/icu/iculslocs.cc : new tool for repairing ICU data manifests after trim operation. * tools/icu/no-op.cc : dummy file to force .gyp into using a C++ linker. * vcbuild.bat : added small-icu and full-icu options, to call into configure. * Fixed toolset dependencies, see https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/7719#issuecomment-54641687 Note that because of a bug in gyp {CC,CXX}_host must also be set. Otherwise gcc/g++ will be used by default for part of the build. Reviewed-by: Trevor Norris &lt;trev.norris@gmail.com&gt; Reviewed-by: Fedor Indutny &lt;fedor@indutny.com&gt;
