I also read related materials, and it says using mingw has two methods to compile wxwindows: one is direct compile it, and the other is configure. What is configure method?

Its a common way to configure the sourcecode for a particular machine. a
./configure script runs, and checks for platform specific functions, and
configures the sourcecode for that.

I used the ./configure method, but that needs more unix tools on your
machine. cygwin (www.cygwin.org) contains many unix tools, and might be
needed for the ./configure approach. it is probably needed for compiling
hugin as well (the build process needs perl, a gnu make v 3.80 or
newer).

I do not have access to vc.net, so I cant try. if you have, its worth a
try. then you can also use the debugger of vc.net, which is probably a
lot more comfortable than the commandline debugger (gdb) provided by mingw/cygwin
