The PPA was built for Ubuntu. Mint uses the Ubuntu repositories for the 
majority ( 95% + ) of it's packaging. The DE ( Desktop Environment ) has 
it's own Mint repo, the rest is Ubuntu.

You have (3) Options here ( it's your choice ):

[1] Install the posted version of WSPR

[2] Install the WSJT-Suite. This is used for Installer and Build 
testing. It includes development branch builds for all the WSJT 
applications.

Download: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtsdk/files/win32/2.0.0/wsjt-suite/WSJT-Suite-1.0.24-Win32.exe/download

[3] Install JTSDK v2.0.0 and build WSPR + the Win32 installer, which is 
very easy to do. You can also build all the other WSJT Applications + 
documentation with the SDK. It takes a few minutes to install, but it's 
fairly painless.

NOTE: I am uploading JTSDK-2.0.0-Win32.exe as I write this, it is a big 
file, about 650+ MB compressed, about the same size as a Distro ISO image.

JTSDK INSTALLATION
* Download the installer from:

-: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtsdk/files/win32/2.0.0/JTSDK-2.0.0-Win32.exe/download

* Run the installer as you normally would.
* Follow the prompts
* After the install finishes, update JTSDK by:
- Start >> Programs >> JTSDK >> JTSDK Update


BUILD WSPR + Win32 INSTALLER
* The launch JTSDK-PY from the Desktop Icon
* At the prompt, checkout WSPR with: checkout wspr
* Build the Win32-Installer: build-wspr package
* That will build the latest version of WSPR, and a Win32-Installer.

Install Location: C:\JTSDK\wspr
Installer Location: C:\JTSDK\wspr\package
Installer Name: WSPR-4.0-win32.exe


USING WSPR Win32:
* Install WSPR using the newly created installer; or:
* Run WSPR locally by running: C:\JTSDK\wspr\install\wspr.bat

Either way, that should do it. Enjoy WSPR :-)

I'll work with Joe and see what can be done here, but as far as the PPA 
is concerned, 32/64 bit is taken care of automatically at installation.

A solution is already in place, see above.
