Hi Christian,
Please, would it be possible for you to cross-compile a Windows version of
liblouisutdml for me or tell me what commands you would use to do it. I think
you or someone else already cross-compiled an old version some time ago, so it
should be doable. Then I can get on with my project while experimenting further
with cross-compiling the packages.

My ultimate goal is to compile it for Windows. I understand that this mustbe done from a Docker image. I am absolutely new to docker, but does that

You do not need Docker to compile for windows. It's just that Docker helps to
create a controlled and reproducible environment to do a
(cross) compilation. If you'd rather compile directly in Windows that might
work too. I just do not happen to have such a environment.
There is a Docker image for liblouisutdml, but it currently just builds
liblouis
amd the liblouisutdml inside the docker image. You could just use that to run
liblouisutdml on Windows.
If however you want to use docker to cross-compile liblouisutdml for
Windows then I would create a new Dockerfile based on Dockerfile.win64 in
liblouis. I've started that but it appears that I got side tracked with other
duties.
I'd be happy to help ypu with that effort.
Thanks
Christian
