I'm trying to rebuild
pyfribidi(pyfribidi-0.10.0) / pyfribidi2(pyfribidi2-0.8.0)
for a new windows machine, but am encountering difficulties.
I used to use the build.vbs script from http://svn.silentsound.net/pyfribidi/,
but although the script mostly works OK in terms of patching various C issues
and I get a fribidi.dll built, I find that whichever of pyfribidi / pyfribidi2 I
use I'm getting missing entry points with the 0.19 series of fribidi.
fribidi_unicode_to_utf8
fribidi_utf8_to_unicode
The only difference between the two sources I have for pyfribidi / pyfribidi2
seem to be in the copyright dating and in the module name.
Looking at the source code of fribidi 0.19.6 I see that log2vis is deprecated
and it is not clear which interface I should even try to use.
Is there a more modern version of pyfribidi?
Looking in the various repos I see that fribidi_unicode_to_utf8 is in the old
code, but I suppose I should really try and upgrade to use the latest version if
at all possible. Additionally the old fribidi_logvis seems to have a different
argument structure to the interface that pyfribidi.c uses.
What should I be using/doing?
