Michel, i assume you are using Mingw and Msys. The mysubdir line was intended for building liblouisxml with a Microsoft compiler such as VC6. On line 38 of paths.c there is the statement: #ifdef _WIN32 Which checks whether you are compiling under Windows. It should also be possible to check whether you are using Mingw. I'm not sure just what this variable is called. But if you are compiling under Mingw you want to skip all the code up to line 118, where there is a comment about Unix paths. This can be done by modifying the #ifdef statement at line 38. Let's hope someone more familiar with Mingw knows how to do this. Once this is done, we will have to decide on a suitable value for the --prefix option in configure for both liblouis and liblouisxml.
