[PD] compiling a recent Gem for windows ? ...

hi, dear list !

does anyone in this wonderful PD-land by any chance got a self-compiled 
version of a recent Gem source for the windows platform that he/she 
would share ?

the reason i'm asking is:

the last official windows binary of Gem dates from 2011
(version: 0.93.3) and has the following bug (windows only):


https://github.com/umlaeute/Gem/issues/156


the issue was declared closed on 14.11.17

so, i assume that compiling Gem from source for windows would be a way 
to overcome this bug, am i right here ?

now, sooner than i thought came the project, when i really need to be 
able to play back a big series of still images from recorded video input 
streams, so the Gem 0.93.3 windows bug strikes me right there.

and this is where i'm stuck:

the latest "self-compiling" guide i found for Gem is this one from 2014:

https://github.com/umlaeute/Gem/wiki/How-to-build-Gem-on-Microsoft-Windows-%28MINGW%29

but meanwhile a lot of things seem to have changed.
i am using the latest MSYS. i recently successfully self-compiled a 
64-bit version of PD, using this guide from Lucas Cordiviola:

https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2018-03/122089.html

is there a similar howto like this existing for
(the latest sources of) Gem for Windows ?
what would be the 2018 equivalent of the libraries mentioned in the 2014 
guide (which MSYS doesn't seem to find)

any help in this regard is highly appreciated !

best

oliver
