This is a consequence of having commented out the call to CancelIoEx(). There's 
no need to worry about it.

This is because you're using an out-of-date make file. Either you took your 
copy one revision too early or you didn't reconfigure.

If I'm recalling correctly, you're using BrlAPI from C. If so, you don't need 
those.

That's just informative. It won't impact your case.

>(cd "${installRoot}/lib" ; lib /def:brlapi.def /name:brlapi-0.5.dll

I myself can't help you with this one as I'm not really a Windows person.

Again, I myself can't help you with this one.
