This project is concerned with the way currencies are formatted for different locales in two major projects:

Project structure

The projects to compare, icu and glibc will be cloned into subdirectories, and be built and installed in the project directory.
Two separate binaries are built, one per project, to output the formatted currencies per locale. These binaries are kept in the currencies directory.
Execution of index.ts will lead to:
- Executing the two binaries to gather and compare their output.
- Generation of several markdown files as a report in the output directory.

The project makes use Node.js, yarn and several tools to compile C/C++ code as well as popular linux cli programs.

There are some helper scripts to aid with installing or updating dependencies:

Use clone-repos.sh to initially clone the glibc and icu repositories.
- These repositories will be cloned into the glibc and icu directories respectively.
- Later on it may be desireable to checkout specific versions of each project - which can be done using git.
Use yarn build as a handy way to execute the different build scripts for different steps in the project.
Make sure to execute yarn install for the node dependencies.
Use yarn start to produce a report as several markdown files in the output directory.
