Could we also please offer the same thing for MacOS as well? It is almost
impossible to build LibLouisutdml on that platform and it is what I really need.

Hi Christian,
I have so far downloaded several versions of the mingw32msvc versions, but
not the latest version. I have studied the contents, but after all I most of
the time used the version that I compiled myself with MSVC.
One reason is that I need that version to build LibLouisutdml. Another reason
is that I was not sure about the result. When I compile with MSVC I need to
make some changes.
It is not quite clear whether the mingw32 version compiles for 16 or 32 bits
characters input/output. I assume 16 bits because of the definition in
liblouis.h:
#define widechar unsigned short int
Further there is no lib file included, which is necessary for linking the dll.
I normally do not use the tools because I am generally not involved in
producing tables. I hate to use command line tools. It would probably be
better if I had a set of batch files available so I do not have to do a lot
of typing before I can start running the tools (this goes also for the
compilation process).
Ideally I would like to get compiled versions for both liblouis and
liblouisutdml with the necessary header files and lib files.
Is the current compiled version useful? Yes it still is, if one has problems
with doing the compilation oneself or for comparison.
I would like to dive into the matter of making these things more automatic,
but thusfar I lacked the time or energy. It would also require some knowledge
of the other build systems.
Best regards,
Arend Arends

Subject: [liblouis-liblouisxml] Pre-built Windows binaries
Hi all
For the last few releases I not only packed up a tar ball of the source
code, but I also built a zip file containing a dll and some exe files of
the tools using mingw.
Now I changed machines and my mingw infrastructure has changed and I
only seem to be able to build 64bit versions. That is what I uploaded
for the 2.6.4 release. But since I do not use Windows I have no way of
testing these binaries.
My question hence: is anyone even using these binaries and are they
useful? If yes then I'm looking for a way to off-load this job. Maybe
someone trusted in the community could take over this job or help me set
up some automation that could build the binaries automatically.
Thanks
Christian
