2ufortune: a sample program demonstrating the use of ICU resource files by an application.
3
4This sample demonstrates
5 Defining resources for use by an application
6 Compiling and packaging them into a dll
7 Referencing the resource-containing dll from application code
8 Loading resource data using ICU's API

10Files:
11 ./ufortune.c source code for the sample
12 ./ufortune.sln Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started.
13 ./ufortune.vcproj Windows MSVC project file.
14 ./Makefile Makefile for Unixes. Needs gmake.
15 resources/root.txt Default resources (text for messages in English)
16 resources/es.txt Spanish language resources source file..
17 resources/res-file-list.txt List of resource source files to be built
18 resources/Makefile Makefile for compiling resources, for Unixes.

21To Build ufortune on Windows
22 1. Install and build ICU
23 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\ufortune\ufortune.sln
24 3. Choose a Debug or Release build.
25 4. Build.
26
27To Run on Windows
28 1. Start a command shell window
29 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
30 set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
31 (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
32 3. cd into the ufortune directory, e.g.
33 cd c:\icu\source\samples\ufortune\debug
34 4. Run it
35 ufortune

37
38To Build on Unixes
39 1. Build ICU. Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
40 using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something
41 like this:
42 cd <icu directory>/source
43 runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
44 gmake all
45
46 2. Install ICU,
47 gmake install
48
49 3. Build the sample
50 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ufortune
51 export ICU_PREFIX= <icu install directory>
52 gmake
53
54 To Run on Unixes
55 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/ufortune
56
57 gmake check
58 or
59 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
60 ufortune
61
62
63 Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
64 If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
65 the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
66 for Linux and Solaris.
