Yes.

mkwin does it.

That said, there are pre-built binaries for windows on
http://brl.thefreecat.org/brltty/

That'll probably save you much headache.

Note: libbrlapi is LGPL. Statically linking with it means your
application has to be LGPL too. If it is not, you need to use dynamic
linking (and you can put the libbrlapi.so file along your application,
if needed)
