Hi all,
Unfortunately, I can't get brltty to build on my Windows system. Here is
wat I do:
1. With mingw-get, install msys1 and mingw
2. Start msys1
3. Run the winsetup script
4. Run autogen
5. Run mkwin ..
Whatever I do, I get the following warnings:
mkwin: configuring build
../source/brltty-prologue.bash: line 287: declare: -A: invalid option
declare: usage: declare [-afFirtx] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
../source/brltty-prologue.bash: line 387: declare: -n: invalid option
declare: usage: declare [-afFirtx] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
And then with make, it instantly crashes with:
mkwin: building programs
../../source/Programs/brltty.c: In function 'setServiceState':
../../source/Programs/brltty.c:51:59: error:

if (GetLastError() != ERROR_FAILED_SERVICE_CONTROLLER_CONNECT) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
make[1]: *** [brltty.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
I have GNU bash, version 3.1.23(1)-release (i686-pc-msys) and gcc.exe
(MinGW.org GCC-6.3.0-1) 6.3.0. This stuff is all pretty old, so I'm
pretty sure i'm doing something ridiculously wrong here.
Any help most appreciated!
Regards,
Leonard

Python has something like the stable application binary Interface (ABI), see
https://docs.python.org/3.11/c-api/stable.html . This can be used by
enabling the limited API.
I wonder, has this ever been considered? If not, could it be considered to
create a brlapi python package that uses the limited API, preferably using
an API version that is equal to the minimum Python version that is still in
maintenance (currently 3.8)? That would ensure that you'd be able to use a
brlapi python extension with multiple python versions.
Apparently cython3 introduced some support for it, so it will be worth
trying it indeed.
(namely: CYTHON_LIMITED_API, that makes cython use the stable ABI)
