I tried the Windows build from puredata.info in wine. When loading it
in Pd, I get:

err:module:import_dll Library libdl.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Pd\\extra\\readanysf~\\readanysf~.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library libogg-0.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Pd\\extra\\readanysf~\\readanysf~.dll") not found

The archive for Windows actually ships with a few dlls, but not all of
them. libtheora-0 and libtiff3 are part of the archive and I installed
them as suggested in the README (don't know why it complains about
them), but the others from above list are missing.

So, before anyone reports to the author, be sure to have all required
dlls installed and then test again.

Note: the windows package was put together by someone else (says the
READMEwin32.txt). So, please also do not complain to the author about
missing dlls.

Maybe someone knows of a good / trustworthy way to get compiled
binaries of GPL-ed software for Windows? Or is willing to compile them?
