Hi Greg,
I am in complete agreement. If I could find funding I would hire people
to produce precompiled packages for Windows and Mac OSX.

Why are we continually having these kinds of issues? First it was the MacOS
version that was nearly impossible to get compiled now Windows. Would it be
so very hard to develop stand alone versions of liblouis and in particular
file2brl, compile them and offer them for download at the same time that new
version come out.
Our insistence they our users all be code jockeys able to decipher all the
dependencies and other programming mojo just to be able to use liblouis is
maddening. Release compiled useable versions already.
IF even technically skilled users tumble over themselves to get liblouis to
work what chance does the poor librarian who simply need to translate a few
short strings of text into Braille ever going to have?
