You can find links to the googlecode pages for liblouis liblouisutdml 
and BrailleBlaster at http://www.abilitiessoft.com However, here are the 
commands for cloning liblouisutdml and BraileBlaster

hg clone http://liblouisutdml.googlecode.com/hg/liblouisutdml
hg clone http://brailleblaster.googlecode.com/hg/brailleblaster

You can checkout liblouis from its repository on the googlecode page. 
Note that liblouis is in a svn repository, while liblouisutdml and 
BrailleBlaster are in Mercurial repositories.

Build and install liblouis and liblouisutdml in the usual manner using 
Gnu autotools. You will also need Ant to compile the liblouisutdml Java 
bindings. Run Ant in the java subdirectory of liblouisutdml . This will 
produce the file liblouisutdml.jar in the same directory. Copy this file 
into brailleblaster/dist/lib Get the jar files that go in 
brailleblaster/dist/lib from http://www.brailleblaster.org , the for 
developers page. You will have to find the 32-bit Linux SWT jar file on 
the Eclipse site. Rename it to swt.jar and place it in 
brailleblaster/dist/lib Copy liblouis.so and liblouisutdml.so from 
/usr/local/lib into brailleblaster/dist/native/lib Run Ant in the 
brailleblaster directory. this will give you brailleblaster.jar in the 
dist subdirectory. The command

java -jar brailleblaster.jar 

In this directory should now run the program.

Thanks,
John
