Hi Larry
I have just tried this – it works like a dream! Very simple to set up and use.
Thank you.

If you just want to be able to translate files, we are working on a Windows Sen
To shortcut that uses Pandoc and Liblouis to turn various files of varying
types to a translated brl file.
Check it out and give us some feedback.
It is at http://tech.aph.org/lt_setup.exe

Hi Jake,
The readme.windows file describes how to build liblouisutdml.dll in Windows,
not file2brl.exe. There is no special description or makefile yet for building
file2brl.exe under Windows. So you are pretty much on your own at the moment.
There are other people who have tried it, but as far as a I know without
success.

Hello,
I am new to the list and to Liblouis. I am not a programmer and am not
experienced at building programs on the command line. I am a braille
transcriber and I am hoping to try using file2brl.exe but I’m stuck at the
building/compiling stage.
I am using Windows and Visual Studio 2015 and the latest versions of Liblouis
and Liblouisutdml. I have followed all the instructions in the README.windows
file in the Liblouisutdml package. The one modification I have found I had to
do to get the final stage to work was this suggested by Paul Wood (thank you
Paul):
line 96 of config.h needs to be changed to:
#if (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER < 1900))
see here for post
//www.freelists.org/post/liblouis-liblouisxml/SV-Re-Prebuilt-Windows-binaries,4
I now have all the files and directories which I think I am supposed to get.
In the “tools” directory I have file2brl.c together with Makefile.am and
Makefile.in but I don’t know how to obtain file2brl.exe from this. If anyone
could help me I’d be very grateful. Forgive me if it is a basic question.
Many thanks,
Jake
