Hello, Unfortunately, there is some problem with the build file or something wrong with the inkscape.exe. I have tried compiling on another machine on Windows 7 x64 only to face the same problem.
The problem is: the build process completes successfully without errors but the inkscape.exe runs for a few seconds (seen in the task manager) and then quits. No windows opening, no send error report messages. Just a 'inkscape.exe' process in the task manager.
Compiled by following the below page word to word: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows
Compiler: TDM-GCC 4.7.1 Mingw32 bit edition and not the experimental 32 cum 64 bit one.
Take note that 4.7.x series is now defaulting to __thiscall call convention for C++ member methods. In short, C++ code built by previous versions will NOT work.
So, somebody needs to rebuild the precompiled libraries for the new version. In fact, you should be building the libraries for each flavor and version of toolchain, rather than the one-size-fits-all system that you have now, C++ ABI is rather unstable if compiler configuration is different.
