      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.

      9     writer.c       C source for Writer application, will generate data file to be read by Reader.

     11     udata.sln      Windows MSVC workspace.  Double-click this to get started.

     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.

     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 
     31 To Build on Unixes
     32     1.  Build ICU.  
     33         Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
     34         using the --prefix option.  The steps to build ICU will look something
     35         like this:
     36            cd <icu directory>/source
     37            runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
     38            gmake all
     39            
     40     2.  Install ICU, 
     41            gmake install
     42  
     43     3.  Compile
     44            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.)
     45            cd <icu directory>/source/samples/udata
     46            gmake ICU_PATH=<icu source directory> ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory)
     47            
     48  To Run on Unixes
     49            cd <icu directory>/source/samples/udata
     50            gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory>  check
     51                -or- 
     52 
     53            export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
     54            writer
     55            reader
     56            
     57  Note:  The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
     58         If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
     59         the variable that is used there.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
     60         for Linux and Solaris.
