I do not work under OSX or COCOa but as for the constants you can probably just wrap the liblouis part in a file that does not include the COCOA headers and likewise not include the liblouis headers in your COCOA code. That should fix the conflicts. I'm sorry I can't be of more help than that. -----Original Message----- From: liblouis-liblouisxml-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:liblouis-liblouisxml-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Lalonde Sent: Monday, August 19, 2013 12:33 PM To: liblouis-liblouisxml@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [liblouis-liblouisxml] New At This Hello, I am new at using liblouis and Apple's XCode and I need help. I am looking at making a plug-in for use in a software called FileMaker Pro on Mac OS X that will use the liblouis library. These are the requirements: the plug-in needs to be self-contained; the translation tables must be contained in the plug-in. Before starting off on this endeavour, I attempted to compile the liblouis code to familiarize myself with the code. I originally followed the instructions to make a static library. The library could not be used in a XCode project. I then attempted to compile the code in XCode. Two seemingly important errors came up: the path to the tables could not be resolved; some of the constants conflict with Cocoa constants (bold, italic, .). Can anyone help me by either giving me development advice or generously offering me a self-contained static library that functions in XCode?
