   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.

   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

  14 To Build udata on Windows
  15     1.  Install and build ICU
  16     2.  In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\udata\udata.sln
  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
  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).
  31
  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.
