Its not as complicated as it looks, its mostly a matter of getting the
files in the right places. You should also install MSYS, check the
WindowsMinGW page for how. But perhaps you should use a newer version
of MSYS. Then try a build, download the Pd-extended source, and do
this from the MSYS shell:
cd pd/src
make -f makefile.mingw
My guess is that the 64-bit instructions are going to end up looking
quite similar to the WindowsMinGW page.

Hello Hans and everyone,
Thank you for the encouragment. It might take time, indeed. :)
OK, I installed the tdm-gcc.tdragon.net x32 and x64 MinGW.

I would avoid trying to build anything and instead install from
binaries. Building compilers can be a real pain. Cygwin is quite
easy to install, so I see no harm in installing it.
I created a wiki page to document our progress, everyone should
write notes there:
https://puredata.info/docs/developer/Windows64BitMinGWX64
Upon looking at it, I think a good place to start is by downloading
the most recent of mingw-w64-bin-x86_64:
http://www.drangon.org/mingw/
This looks even more promising though:

Hello everyone,
I'm new here. I've offered to help with the Windows 64bit build.
I'm really new to compiling software, so I'll probalby need some
help to get started. If you think this is unmanageable for a
beginner don't be afraid to tell me so. I have some good will and
patience, but I don't want to waste anyone's time. :)
I'm reading the MinGW-w64 pages on Sourceforge.
I should be looking for a native compiler for w64, but I can't
seem to find any. I suppose since it's a native compiler I can
build it myself. Is this correct. Then, should I download a
tarball and compile from the source?
Otherwise I found what seems to be a native version here:
http://www.drangon.org/mingw/
I cannont find either the MinGW-get installer mentioned on the
32bit version of the instructions. I suppose there is nothing
similar for the 64bit version for the time being.
I suppose I have to get Cygwin for compilation too. Anything I
should pay special attention to concerning this?
Thanks for your help

A Windows 7 build sounds like a good idea. The first place to
start is getting a MinGW-w64 build environment setup. If you get
that installed, then first try just building the core of pd-
extended without all the libraries. That shouldn't be too hard
to get going.

Here is the whole instructions for the 32-bit environment:

Perhaps it makes sense to continue this discussion on pd-dev?

Hello,
I've been using Puredata for a year now and I'd be glad to help
with the new release.
I'll be getting a new computer for performances in the coming up
week.
It will be an Asus N82 (it's not on their website at the moment).
Intel Core i7 - 720QM (quad core) with 4GB of RAM an Nvidia
Geforce GT335M
The OS is a Windows 7 64bit. I might install some linux distro
too alongside the original OS.
I can leave the computer on as much as needed for the autobuild
process. I will use the computer for my own too. But I can leave
it on at night.
I don't know if you want specifically Windows XP or if Windows 7
which is more and more widespread now can do too.
You can contact me with this email or with skype (same email
address).
Cheers
Pierre-Olivier
