Is there a Daisy reader for Linux?


Is there a Daisy reader for Linux? I have found old stuff that doesn't work.

You should be a bit/lot more specific next time, but these may help:
http://freecode.com/projects/daisyduck
http://daisy.geexbox.org/INTRODUCTION.en.html

http://freecode.com/projects/daisyplayer
http://developer.skolelinux.no/info/...g-daisyplayer/

If they don't work, please be even more specific as to what doesn't work.

Firefox doesn't recognize the daisy extension (and it's old). dbr and daisyconsole have out-of-date dependencies. daisyduck builds and runs but it wants an ncc.html file the package I'm trying to read lacks. A Dutch source doesn't exist.

If someone knew of a package that works that would save me trying to make obsolete packages work.

Have you read/listened to a daisy file?

'ncc.html' is part of the specifications, not having it means you have a broken file not a broken reader. You could try to write one tho, based on the specification:

I downloaded it from openlibrary.org. Have you read a Daisy file with DaisyDuck?

Daisy-Player is somewhat old, the newest release being from 2006.
Is there anything newer?
thanks

Have you seen this?: https://daisy.trac.cvsdude.com/amis/wiki/BuildingAmis

It mentions Linux, saying you have to define AMIS_PLATFORM_LINUX , but it appears you have to use Windblowz to compile it.

I was able to build libdaisy and daisyconsole for Slackware x86_64; here are the packages. It ran into segfaults playing audio back, though…
