Hello Francois and a big welcome to the BrailleBlaster development team. Thanks for the explanation and I will be looking forward to working with you in the future. Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A., Vic E-mail: <mailto:vic.beckley3@xxxxxxxxx> vic.beckley3@xxxxxxxxx From: brailleblaster-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:brailleblaster-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of François Ouellette Sent: Monday, June 25, 2012 8:45 AM To: brailleblaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [brailleblaster] Re: Can't build BrailleBlaster Hi Vic, I joined the team recently and have been working on a few issues related to the Windows environment and the liblouis dll's. Basically the issue is that by default the java runtime cannot find dependent dll's unless they are in the execution PATH. In our case we have liblouisutdml which is loaded as a resource, and it makes reference to liblouis. John's latest change puts those two in the native/lib directory but the runtime system cannot find liblouis, unless it is physically located in the execution path. I made a change to BBIni in order to set the search path dynamically and tell the java runtime about the native/lib when we load liblouisutdml, and it works. I guess changes will be made available soon through code distribution. Regards, François On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 6:52 AM, John J.
