Here’s how I got libpd built and running under Windows. The key is to use msys2 and mingw-w64 instead of the older mingw32.
# install msys2-installer
# open msys2_shell
pacman –needed -Sy bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime
pacman -Su
# restart msys_shell
pacman -S git
pacman -S mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-gcc
pacman -S make
# run mingw32_shell.bat
# issues with git ca certs? try http://stackoverflow.com/a/8467406
git clone https://github.com/libpd/libpd.git libpd
cd libpd
# update the pure-data submodule
git submodule init
git submodule update
# build it
make UTIL=true EXTRA=true
# set path to dlls
export PATH=/c/dev/libpd-2/libs:$PATH
# c sample
cd samples/c/pdtest
env CC=gcc make UTIL=true EXTRA=true
./pdtest.exe test.pd .
# output

As for samples/cpp/pdtest_rtaudio … adding “AUDIO_API = -lole32 -loleaut32 -ldsound -lwinmm” to the windows section of the Makefile eliminates a few of the link errors. I still get some link errors … but I’ll tackle those another time.
Update: I’ve got c++ bindings working now. There were a few minor flags to add to some Makefiles, notably -Wl,–export-all-symbols to the linker and some windows libs to the rtaudio demo. I’ve submitted the patch.
Update 2: After a bit of work today I also got libpd and sfml talking nicely to each other.
