Hi Al and All, I have tried to build liblouisxml pulled from git master (Debian source files). Bad news: build failed on Slint64-14.2.1, some of the components being too old. Good news: build succeeded on Slackware64-15.0 (building box for the upcoming slint64-15.0), so a package for Slint64-15.0 is ready. Unfortunately it can't be used on Slint64-14.2.1 as the programs lbx_devonly and, more importantly xml2brl can't run because there the glibc version is not the same as on 15.0 So, please be patient: this stuff (included all dependencies) will be shipped in Slint 64-15.0. Thanks to John for liblouisxml and to Samuel to have maintained it during the last 11 years.
