As I said the binaries must be the exact same build. As an example if you did the following (assumption: LibLouis source is in a folder named liblouis and LibLouisUTDML source is in a folder named liblouisutdml next to it).
cd liblouis ./configure make sudo make install cd ../liblouisutdml ./configure make sudo make install cd ../liblouis ./configure --enable-ucs4 make sudo make installAs you built liblouis after liblouisutdml and chose a different widechar width then you will get such a problem.
I fully understand what you are getting at. I find GNU make stuff a bit too complicated and feel we need something simpler. I have raised it before but the view generally seems to be that sticking with GNU make is what people want.
Providing binary builds for Mac would be useful. I know that may be producing builds for every commit might get a bit complicated but surely binary build for actual release versions would not be unreasonable to expect.

All that I did was to download the released versions of the programs and build them. So if I changed anything I did not knowingly do so.Once again this is proof of the need for precompiled binary installers. I can build the installers and I can even build various GUI front ends to the various liblouis tools but I keep running into issues like this why is it so hard to simply get prebiotic versions of this?Sent from my iPhone Greg Kearney Commonwealth Braille and Talking Book CooperativeOn 20 May 2014, at 2:25 am, "Michael Whapples" <dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> (Redacted sender "mwhapples@xxxxxxx <mailto:mwhapples@xxxxxxx>" for DMARC) wrote:Sorry about it being after the other stuff, but what about the other suggestion, are you sure that liblouis and liblouisutdml (and thus file2brl) are compiled with the same definition of widechar?Basically liblouisutdml needs to be compiled against the exact build of liblouis you will be using it with. If you have compiled liblouis again since compiling liblouisutdml this could have caused the issue.Looking at the output this possibly looks more likely and seems to make sense to me with the output you got.LibLouis having its own definition for unicode is something which has bugged me and it bugs me even more that one can compile liblouis widechar with different widths and this can impact upon programs which use it.Michael Whapples On 20/05/2014 01:51, Greg Kearney wrote:I am using the default configuration file Sent from my iPhone Greg Kearney Commonwealth Braille and Talking Book CooperativeOn 19 May 2014, at 4:32 pm, "Michael Whapples" <dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> (Redacted sender "mwhapples@xxxxxxx <mailto:mwhapples@xxxxxxx>" for DMARC) wrote:A gut feeling looking at the output is that it could be an encoding issue in reading the input file.Could you send the configuration file being used?On what you have sent me, or may be more accurately what I have recieved, if you are using the default configuration files there should be no issue.The HTML file I recieved is UTF-8 encoding, is this correct or might an email client have changed it somewhere along the line?Whilst the encoding is what I suspect, it seems unlikely if you are using defaults and if the email system did not change the HTML encoding.To explain the output the notation '\zXXXXXXXX' (as in '\z004e004e') means that liblouis did not recognise a character with ordinal in the number.Putting some of the values into UTF16 encoding leads to something which resembles the actual text of the file content.Although thinking about this, UTF16 would not lead to such high values by itself. What I am getting the feeling of is, LibLouis is compile for UCS4 (32-bit unicode) and LibLouisUTDML and thus file2brl are compiled for UCS2 (16-bit unicode). So when file2brl reads the HTML, it is packing the characters into 16-bit width characters, but then liblouis is reading those as 32-bit wide characters, oops, out pops something which is nonsense because it recognises none of the characters.Are you sure your file2brl and liblouisutdml were compiled against the particular version of liblouis you are using?Michael Whapples On 19/05/2014 23:12, Greg Kearney wrote:From a python program: os.system("file2brl -t " + newname + " " + out file ) which would be in normal usage: file2brl -t file.html file.brf Here is the HTML file: And here is what I get: Commonwealth Braille & Talking Book Cooperative Greg Kearney, General Manager 605 Robson Street, Suite 850 Vancouver BC V6B 5J3 CANADA Email:info@xxxxxxxxx U.S. Address 21908 Almaden Av.
