Is there a Daisy reader for Linux?
Is there a Daisy reader for Linux? I have found old stuff that 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 dbr and daisyconsole have out-of-date dependencies.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…
