Christian/Larry,
Should/can we mention this program on the website?

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
