5ufortune: a sample program demonstrating the use of ICU resource files by an application.
6
7This sample demonstrates
8 Defining resources for use by an application
9 Compiling and packaging them into a dll
10 Referencing the resource-containing dll from application code
11 Loading resource data using ICU's API
12
13Files:
14 ./ufortune.c source code for the sample
15 ./ufortune.sln Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started.
16 ./ufortune.vcproj Windows MSVC project file.
17 ./Makefile Makefile for Unixes. Needs gmake.
18 resources/root.txt Default resources (text for messages in English)
19 resources/es.txt Spanish language resources source file..
20 resources/res-file-list.txt List of resource source files to be built
21 resources/Makefile Makefile for compiling resources, for Unixes.

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

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