As a general rule, unless I want to fix something in a dependency, I
work with the last stable build. Then if there is a problem and I want
the easy way out (i.e. still not having to fix the dependency), I
would just go back in history, but still keep to stable builds.
Also to compile for Windows, I use the tool I built, but this is to
cross-compile from Linux to Windows, and for most dependencies, I just
install them in a single command from pre-built packages. So I can't
really help you. Sorry. Working *on* Windows is just not what I do.
Maybe others will be able to help.

This said, maybe you can try to use the same pre-built package for
Windows (I use the ones from OpenSUSE repositories). Just uncompress
them and use the files in it.
