Hi Birkir -- Right now we are just using MinGW to build the libraries, as that 
requires the least change to the process.
That would be interesting using eclipse, but right now no one has tried.
I need to refresh my memory on how to build the libs on windows -- actually, 
someone at abilitiessoft did the port.
I'll get back to you.

setting up Liblouis programs in Windows


  Hey guys

   

  I take it the Icelandic tables are not in, and I feel I need to compile and 
test these puppies out myself to make sure they work before submitting them.

  Has any of you gotten the libraries to work on Windows? What did you use to 
compile them (I have worked in Visual Studio and Eclipse but have not compiled 
C programs since 4 or 5 years ago, it's all been .net and Java).

  I'll look at the brlTTY instructions, but if anyone has compiled these and 
uses them on a Windows machine (Windows 7 specifically, though I do not think 
the O.S. matters) I'd very much appreciate it if you contact me off-list and I 
can get some pointers.

  I have not coded anything in 2 years now so it is almost a strange feeling to 
get back into it, nice but I am almost at a loss as to where to start.

   

  My plan is to get this done over the weekend so wI can move forward and 
submit the tables to be available for the next release of Liblouis.

  Again, sorry for how long this takes but I've been loaded down with reports, 
papers, conference and a big TTS contract project, and I work with people who 
avoid coding at all costs and it is, strictly speaking, not part of my job and 
something I must do in my spare time.

  Thanks for your assistance so far.

  -Birkir
