I think you probably need a "client install" of MySQL. That would give you the needed dll (don't know about header files, never tried to compile anything from source in Windows). I think Ubuntu pulls in packages for such a client install as dependencies when you install mysqldb, Windows is less helpful. A quick look at www.mysql.com doesn't show separate client packages for Windows - but a client-only install might be an installation option. I know it is with Firebird.
