Re: [Amis-devl] Code compilation

[Marisa D. <ma...@di...>]

Hi Willem,

The instructions for building AMIS (the whole thing) are at:
http://daisy-trac.cvsdude.com/amis/wiki/BuildingAmis

If you just want the core, then just build the AmisCore piece  
(however, you might have to go through most of the other steps too,  
just because of a few dependencies).  At some point, it would be great  
if we could release AmisCore as a standalone library, but right now,  
its availability is a side-effect of the main application.

The python wrapper is out of date; I have to find time to resurrect it.

One warning about the build instructions is that they list a tree-view  
of the directory structure that you absolutely must have; however, the  
list uses whitespace to show indentation.  This is not very accessible  
-- I've experimented with an HTML table to show a directory structure,  
but I don't know how good it is.  I'm still waiting for feedback from  
the person who pointed out the problem to me in the first place.  Here  
is my experiment:
http://daisy-trac.cvsdude.com/amis/wiki/sandbox

Hope this helps, or at least points in a helpful direction.  Since  
we're attending the same event this week, catch me in person if you  
have a chance to try it out.

Marisa
