Currently, MSYS2 is definitely the way to go for POSIX ports on Windows. After you followed its installation steps, you open up msys2.exe and add the following packages:

$ pacman -S make

For 64-bit development:

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3

For 32-bit development:

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gtk3

Afterwards you can download an (X)MedCon source package. Open up a targetted shell mingw64.exe or mingw32.exe. Unpack the source distribution and run the three familiar steps:

$ ./configure --prefix /usr/local/xmedcon

$ make

$ make install

The (X)MedCon binaries and associated dll should be found in /usr/local/xmedcon/bin. All other msys or gtk library dependencies are found in /mingw64/bin or /mingw32/bin; depending which platform you targeted.
