A friend monitoring this list also brought this point up. I don't know if mingw can use platform sdk libs, or what else it would use. Do you have the platform sdk installed? Does anyone else know what is used here? I wouldn't assume that m$ would be compiling libraries for others to use in other compilers, so I'd think that mingw works ok.

Thanks. This looks like it might be helpful. I'm wondering why liblouis needs it. It's just a simple dll, but it does use stderr. I'll look into the library path.

It sounds like you don't have the correct library installed, so the program's looking for it. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John J. Boyer Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2011 8:22 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Where do I get uuid.lib? I am making up a Makefile to use msvc to generate the dll for liblouis. When the mile invokes link.exe it says it can't open uuid.lib What is this, and where do i get it? This Makefile will become part of the liblouis distribution, thus ending once and for all any problems with porting liblouis to Windows. A similar approach will be taken with liblouisutdml.
