John,
It appears that, when compiling with mingw, it is recognized as being in _win32
environment.
So it compiles the lines corresponding to this in paths.c.
It assumes that the directory containing the conversion tables and the .cfg
files should be somewhere under "c:\Program Files".
It would be better, in my opinion, if it would be "Program " independant.
The better would be to retrieve the directory where the program runs from.
for example if I run the program from:
c:\liblouisxml\bin\xml2brl.exe
it should return
c:\liblouisxml\bin as currentPath.
Then, in yourSubDir, we could put something like
".\\etc\\tables"
So, if you install liblouisxml in
c:\Program Files\liblouisxml
the path you would retrieve in the end would be:
c:\Program Files\liblouisxml\bin..\etc\tables
wich is like
c:\Program Files\liblouisxml\etc\tables

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.
