| 2 | ufortune: a sample program demonstrating the use of ICU resource files by an application. | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | This 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 | |

| 10 | Files: | |
| 11 | ./ufortune.c source code for the sample | |
| 12 | ./ufortune.dsw Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started. | |
| 13 | ./ufortune.dsp 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. | |

| 21 | To Build ufortune on Windows | |
| 22 | 1. Install and build ICU | |
| 23 | 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\ufortune\ufortune.dsw | |
| 24 | 3. Choose a Debug or Release build. | |
| 25 | 4. Build. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | To 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 | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | ||
| 38 | To 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. |
