Build a libvips binary for 64-bit Windows. The resulting zip file includes all necessary DLLs, EXEs, headers, etc.
Only use this repo if you MUST build libvips yourself. There are pre-compiled binaries for libvips here:
https://github.com/libvips/libvips/releases
One of those would probably be a better idea.
Docker will make a light-weight virtual machine containing all the tools you need and then build inside that. You won't need to install any extra stuff on the host machine, and everything is automated.
First, install docker:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/
Make sure you're in the docker group so you can run docker without needing
sudo.
Now run the build script:
$ ./build.sh 8.8 web
At the end of the build, the script will display the paths of all the zip files it created, ready to be uploaded to the server. Be patient, this process can take an hour, even on a powerful machine.
See the README in the 8.x subdirectory for instructions for building
directly in jhbuild.

try installing win64 python and running it under wine so we can run the test suite? who knows, it could work
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.10/python-2.7.10.amd64.msi
headless install
wine msiexec /qn /i python-2.7.10.amd64.msi
does not set PATH, so to run, use:
WINEPATH=c:/python27 wine python.exe test.py
try
WINEPATH="c:/python27;/home/john/GIT/build-win64/8.1/x/vips-dev-8.1.1/bin" GI_TYPELIB_PATH=/home/john/GIT/build-win64/8.1/x/vips-dev-8.1.1/lib/girepository-1.0 wine python test_all.py
