   5 ufortune: a sample program demonstrating the use of ICU resource files by an application.
   6
   7 This 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
  13 Files:
  14     ./ufortune.c                 source code for the sample
  15     ./ufortune.sln               Windows MSVC workspace.  Double-click this to get started.

  17     ./Makefile                   Makefile for Unixes.  Needs gmake.

  24 To 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
  30 To 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

  41 To 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.
