This sample demonstrates Defining resources for use by an application Compiling and packaging them into a dll Referencing the resource-containing dll from application code Loading resource data using ICU's API Files: ./ufortune.c source code for the sample ./ufortune.sln Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started. ./ufortune.vcproj Windows MSVC project file. ./Makefile Makefile for Unixes. Needs gmake. resources/root.txt Default resources (text for messages in English) resources/es.txt Spanish language resources source file.. resources/res-file-list.txt List of resource source files to be built resources/Makefile Makefile for compiling resources, for Unixes. To Build ufortune on Windows 1. Install and build ICU 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\ufortune\ufortune.sln 3. Choose a Debug or Release build. 4. Build. To Run on Windows 1. Start a command shell window 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g. set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH% (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.) 3. cd into the ufortune directory, e.g. cd c:\icu\source\samples\ufortune\debug 4. Run it ufortune To Build on Unixes 1. Build ICU. Specify an ICU install directory when running configure, using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something like this: cd /source runConfigureICU --prefix [other options] gmake all 2. Install ICU, gmake install 3. Build the sample cd /source/samples/ufortune export ICU_PREFIX= gmake To Run on Unixes cd /source/samples/ufortune gmake check or export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ufortune Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems. If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name for Linux and Solaris.
