James,
I have downloaded minGW, but don't know how to use it to configure liblouis, is
there any document that explains this? I could not find anything in liblouis
documentation.
"An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent
philosopher. The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing
is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an
exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither
its pipes nor its theories will hold water."

Okay. There is some severe confusion here, I think.
Later versions of liblouis are designed to be prepared for compilation
using a script generated by autotools. This script is called
"configure". Unfortunately, autotools was designed for Unix systems and
requires at least a Unix shell.
In Win32 x86, we use mingw to build liblouis, which includes, among
other things, a Unix style shell and the gcc compiler. This builds
native Windows executables, but allows for use of things like autotools.
Unfortunately, you will probably have to do some significant tweaking to
get this building with a Microsoft toolchain. I don't know why strerror
doesn't exist; Win32 x86 seems to provide strerror.
