I cannot remember right now, I'll have to look it up.

Bert,

What were the problems you encountered? The instructions do need
updating. There were indeed problems linking liblouisxml. They were
never resolved.

Thanks,
John

For building liblouisxml, these instructions didn't work for me (because
of linking problems, see older posts). But by using Code::Blocks and
MinGW, I managed to build it anyway. I remember there were some minor
problems, but it worked eventually. It is sort of a hackish solution, so
if there is a better way to do it please tell me.

I could give you some more details about my solution if you like.

PS: Ok Birkir, this is really simple -- you can get the latest
versions of liblouis and liblouisxml at the abilitiessoft.com site
under downloads.
There you will also find instructions on building on windows. The URL
for the windows build document is
http://abilitiessoft.com/windows-build.html
It is actually quite straightforward. Good luck.

    tables/offline help setting up Liblouis programs in Windows

    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.

        tables/offline help 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.
