Ubuntu users can try using the prebuilt packages. You can add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
# KMFL and Pangographite from SIL deb http://packages.sil.org/ubuntu gutsy main deb-src http://packages.sil.org/ubuntu gutsy main # Keyboard and locale from ThanLwinSoft deb http://www.thanlwinsoft.org/ThanLwinSoft/Downloads/ubuntu gutsy main deb-src http://www.thanlwinsoft.org/ThanLwinSoft/Downloads/ubuntu gutsy main
Most of the packages are signed. You can add the key to apt's list using:
wget http://www.thanlwinsoft.org/ThanLwinSoft/Downloads/ubuntu/thanlwinsoft.asc -O- # | sudo apt-key add - wget http://packages.sil.org/ubuntu/dists/silarchive_2006.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Open Synaptic, click Reload and browse the packages by clicking www.thanlwinsoft.org/main in the Origin pane.
You can verify the integrity of files downloaded manually using the command line md5sum program and comparing the result to the ones given here.
e.g. if you downloaded myKeyboards20050228.zip to the current directory:
md5sum myKeyboards20050228.zip
will give
b0c173e0ed21b08427a03678967947a0 myKeyboards20050228.zip

The myWin2.2 Keyman keyboard supports typing Burmese conformant to Unicode 5.1. More details and the layout are available.

The kmx file is the compiled Keyman keyboard which you can use if you already have Keyman installed.
The kmn file is the Keyman source file, which can also be used on Linux with SCIM/KMFL.

You can either download the converters on their own or as part of DocCharConvert. DocCharConvert requires Java JRE 5 to be installed. Version 1.x are actually Eclipse plugins using SWT. The prerequisite eclipse plugins are included in the installer for windows. If you already have Eclipse installed, you can copy org.thanlwinsoft.doccharconvert_1.0.x.jar into the plugins subdirectory and restart Eclipse. The plugin has been tested on both Windows and Linux. It requires the TECkit JNI library to be available. The DocCharConvert plugin is covered by the LGPL 2.1.

deb http://www.thanlwinsoft.org/ThanLwinSoft/Downloads/ubuntu gutsy main
to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
