Dear Arend,
Thanks a lot for Your confirmation. I also hope these warnings indicate no
crucial problems but because they mentioned possible loss of precision due to
data type mismatches, I got a bit alarmed.
By the way, do You happen to know how to compile in Windows the executables for
a freshly built liblouis.dll?
Thanks in advance: Norbert.

Hi Norbert,
I recently compiled Liblouis in roughly the same way, with the same compiler
for Windows and I probably got similar warning errors (I don’t remember exactly
and I thought I made a copy or a photograph of the screen, but I cannot find it
right now).
In addition I got a link error because a new component was not added yet in the
Windows version, but that has been corrected in the meantime by Christian.
So somebody could try to resolve these warning errors, but I don’t think it is
something to worry about right now. When you recompile, you have to make sure
it is a full recompilation because the test on new components seems to be
incomplete.

Dear Christian and All,
Here are my questions:
- I have done the things listed below on a Windows 7 64-bit system with MS
Visual Studio Community 2015 installed.
- I've visited the download page of the liblouis.org site, and in the
"up-to-date versions" section, clicked
https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis.git. There I clicked "Download zip" and ;
unpacked the archive into a folder on a dos-compatible path.
- Opened a Developer Command Prompt for VS 2015 offered in Visual Studio's
start menu folder and changed to the windows subfolder of the recently unpacked
zip: C:\liblouis31\windows.
- Then I issued the command: nmake /f Makefile.nmake
- It seems to have built liblouis.dll and liblouis.lib but produced a bunch of
warnings along the way. The output is as follows:
cl.exe /nologo /O2 /W3 /c -D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

Creating library liblouis.lib and object liblouis.exp
My question is whether these warnings indicate something inappropriate that
needs to be fixed or are normal and known to You and can be ignored?
Will they in any way affect the performance of liblouis.dll or
liblouisutdml.dll based on this build of liblouis.dll?
Thanks a lot for Your help in advance.
Best Regards, Norbert.
