In reply to your previous email, I have got liblouis 3.0.0 working with
liblouisutdml, well I did before my latest updates to that pull request,
but I don't see why there should be a problem with the changes I made.
If you want my project files, I'm happy to let you have them. I had to
build various dependancies, If I remember right, so never got the 64-bit
version working of liblouisutdml.

Since the compiler that I used was a rather old one, I installed Visual Studio Community 2015 and some of the peculiarities seem to have gone (unless I already solved them).
For strndup, which is not supported by this and other MS compilers (only strdup is supported), I added a replacement from http://opensource.apple.com//source/gcc/gcc-5666.3/libiberty/strndup.c.
It now compiles to liblouis.dll.
I will further test tomorrow.
In conclusion the files in de Windows section still need some improvement.

*Subject:* [liblouis-liblouisxml] Compilation problem with new findTable.c in Windows (MS Visual Studio)
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
