You've said this in the past and it is still false. The existing test
framework is deliberately simple as to not to depend on too many things.
It is just as cross-platform as liblouisutdml itself.
* The translateFile tests are defined in the file
testdata/translateFileTests.xml. The root element of this file is tests
and it can contain translateFileTest elements....
The whole thing sounds very complicated. If there is one thing that I
learned over the years then its the saying that simplicity always trumps
complexity.
I wrote a very simple, proof-of-concept test harness for liblouis a
while ago, using the Java bindings and Clojure. Maybe some ideas could
be stolen from there: https://github.com/egli/louis-clj
Hope that helps
