Thank you! Now I managed to created the brlapi.lib file and compiled my test program with Visual C++ 2008.
But it doesn't work properly with the xwindow diver (brltty -b xw): The program enters TTy mode (brlapi_enterTtyMode (BRLAPI_TTY_DEFAULT, NULL);) and outputs text onto the braille terminal (brlapi_writeText (0, txt);). This works only if the text contains only one character, but if it contains two or more characters, then only a '?' appears on the virtual braille display. If I compile the essentially same program with MinGW, it works as it should. BTW, I'd like to know: Against what have I linked the program when I used brlapi.lib? If I want to distribute the program later, what must be included?
