I am trying to compile LibLouis 3.0.0 in Windows with MS Visual Studio.
Initially I solved a few minor problems.
Then I found that the new component findTable.c (added by Bert Frees 2015?) was
not added to windows\makefile.nmake.
After I changed makefile.nmake, the compiler could not find dirent.h.
It seems dirent.h is not supported normally by Visual Studio, but is included
in the MinGW compiler. There is a version of dirent.h available via
http://softagalleria.net/dirent.php that can be used with Visual Studio.
After I copied it, I tried to compile again, but this time the compilation of
findTable.c gave several problems, that I list at the end of this message.
At the moment I cannot solve these compilation problems easily.
For reference, the first error appears in line 98 with the contents:
List * l3 = malloc(sizeof(List));
Before I dive into these problems further:
Is findTable.c a necessary part of LibLouis.dll?
If not, is there an easy way to remove this part or replace it by a stub?
Has anyone tried to combine LibLouisutdml yet with version 3.0.0?
If I cannot solve these problems shortly I will have to stick with version
2.6.5 (actually I am still using 2.6.4) for our next release of TactileView.
Best regards,
Arend Arends
