I believe you can make install in Millers Windows make files to populate the bin folder.

good news: I've just managed to get a working pd.exe + pd.dll with only MinGW and it also works with externals! installing is still a big mess, but that's another story...
I used the makefile.mingw which is lying around in the 'src' folder but I had to change two lines (see the attached diff). this also fixed the ASIO search paths issues for compiling portaudio and it works without a local copy of libstdc++-6.dll.
you have to create an empty 'bin' folder in 'pure-data', then you can cd to 'src' and type
make -f makefile.mingw
pd.exe and pd.dll will show up in pure-data/bin. note that the externals in extra are not being built.
makefile.mingw is independent from autotools but it can be a point of reference.
@Miller: there is no pd.lib involved. you could make one from pd.def and the header files if you want: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSVC_and_MinGW_DLLs but where do you actually need it? the only place I can think of is when building externals with MSVC because of implicit linking...

Thanks, that looks helpful... I'm not going to touch this for a while though :)

I'm totally naive on compiling but now that you mention it i searched it and found this:
https://wiki.videolan.org/GenerateLibFromDll
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSVC_and_MinGW_DLLs
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/createimportlibraries
Not sure if is helpful.

FWIW I wasn't able to get externals working either (I'm cross compiling with mingw on a linux box, so I believe it's pretty much the same compiler you're using). I discovered that I had to build a whole second copy of Pd using MSVC, and then (don't laugh... actually, yes, laugh) cop pd.lib from teh MSVC build over to the mingw one. So everything in the Pd release is mingw except pd.lib.
I believe pd.lib contains no code, just a sort of index into pd.dll that an extern needs at link time. I think I was able to get mingw to make a .lib file OK, but that externs linked against it would then crash. I've been meaning to revisit this someday, perhaps for 0.49 when I try to get 64 bit Windows builds to work.

Compiling with msys2 is straight forward?
no, not at all :-) but Dan will be working on it and I'll try my best to help.
I manage to get a working static build with ASIO support but externals (apart from the extra folder) don't work. Yesterday I've justed summed up the remaining major issues here:
https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2017-07/021194.html
but I can definitely do the wiki once the build system works!

Hi Christof,
Compiling with msys2 is straight forward?
Can you describe briefly for us?
I'll try it & possibly make a "how-to" on pd.info wiki.
Or can you do the wiki?
