   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

  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

  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.
