Which language are you wanting to use when accessing BrlAPI?

If you're using C, then the bindings should work even with all of those 
warnings.

For Python: Just installing Python isn't enough. You also need to install the 
Cython package. Cython is a compiler which allows Python code to be written in 
C. I'm not sure what Cygwin's name is for this package. Let me know if you need 
me to figure that out for you.

For Java: If you already have Java installed, could you please look around on 
your system and let us know where the javac command is? It'd also be helpful to 
know where the file jni.h is on your system.
