I am making progrress in setting up files to compile new releases of liblouis and liblouisutdml by just editing a configuration file and running nmake with a Makefile name. However, I have some questions. 1. Where can I find a description of the Windows Makefile format? It seems to accept only statements like !include, variable definitions, !if !else !endif and names of steps followed by a colon. Are there other statements that it will accept? 2. It seems that the libraries libuuid.lib and libcmt.lib are necessary for making a dll. I know where they are, but they are in different folders. When I give the linker a library path with the two folders separated by a semicolon it still complains that it can't open one or the other. What is the solution for this? Thanks, John -- John J.
