Scott,
What I did, and what I would recommend for you, is to download the latest
tarballs of liblouis and liblouisutdml and unpack them to your computer. In
the root folder of the liblouisutdml package is a file called
readme.windows. It has good instructions as to what prerequisites you will
need and how to compile the liblouis.dll and liblouisutdml.dll that you will
need for Braille Blaster. One comment I have on the readme is that typing
SDK does not run the command prompt. I don't know what version of windows
you have, but you will have to find the way to start the command prompt with
the right environment variables set. This shortcut will be in the folder of
the SDK or Visual Studio that you install. To get these files go to the For
Developers link on brailleblaster.org.
Once you have mastered this, we can move on to how to get the latest files
from the repository and compiling them. This is good background work because
you will use the same steps to compile the DLLs from the files downloaded
from the repository.
Let me know if you have any questions about this procedure. I will get the
links together to give you to download all the tools you need for the rest
of the project.
I hope this helps.
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,
Vic

Yes that would be the way I'd like to build.
