2 | udata: Low level ICU data |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | This sample demonstrates | |
| 5 | Using the low level ICU data handling interfaces (udata) to create | |
| 6 | and later access user data. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | Files: | |
| 9 | writer.c C source for Writer application, will generate data file to be read by Reader. | |
| 10 | reader.c C source for Reader application, will read file created by Writer | |

11 | udata.sln Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started. |
| 12 | udata.vcproj Windows MSVC project file | |

13 | |
| 14 | To Build udata on Windows | |
| 15 | 1. Install and build ICU | |
| 73c04bcf | 16 | 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\udata\udata.sln |
| b75a7d8f A |
17 | 3. Choose a Debug or Release build. |
| 18 | 4. Build. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | To Run on Windows | |
| 21 | 1. Start a command shell window | |
| 22 | 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g. | |
| 23 | set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH% | |
| 24 | (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.) | |
| 25 | 3. cd into the udata directory, e.g. | |
| 26 | cd c:\icu\source\samples\udata\debug | |
| 27 | 4. Run it | |
| 28 | writer | |
| 29 | reader | |
| 729e4ab9 | 30 | IMPORTANT: On some systems, the reader and writer executables may not be in the same directory. If this is the case, this will likely cause a problem with reader looking for the .dat file in the wrong directory). |

| 32 | To Build on Unixes | |
| 33 | 1. Build ICU. | |
| 34 | Specify an ICU install directory when running configure, | |
| 35 | using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something | |
| 36 | like this: | |
| 37 | cd <icu directory>/source | |
| 38 | runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options] | |
| 39 | gmake all | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | 2. Install ICU, | |
| 42 | gmake install | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | 3. Compile | |
| 45 | You will need to set ICU_PATH to the location of your ICU source tree, for example ICU_PATH=/home/srl/icu (containing source, etc.) | |
| 46 | cd <icu directory>/source/samples/udata | |
| 47 | gmake ICU_PATH=<icu source directory> ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory) | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | To Run on Unixes | |
| 50 | cd <icu directory>/source/samples/udata | |
| 51 | gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory> check | |
| 52 | -or- | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH | |
| 55 | writer | |
| 56 | reader | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems. | |
| 59 | If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of | |
| 60 | the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name | |
| 61 | for Linux and Solaris. | |
