Thanks for the instructions on system configuration, Tal.
Compiled with mingw and clang 9.0.0. VDEV is compiled and registered successfully.
C:\Users\User\hw> .\dpdk-helloworld.exe -l 1
EAL: Registered [vdev] bus.
EAL: Registered [pci] bus.
EAL: Detected 20 lcore(s)
EAL: Detected 2 NUMA nodes
EAL: Multi-process support is requested, but not available.
EAL: Cannot access virt2phys driver, PA will not be available
EAL: WARNING: TSC frequency estimated roughly - clock timings may be less accurate.
hello from core 1

With clang I first got a linker error, that goes away if the symbol is added in the .def file:
bus_vdev_vdev.c.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol per_lcore__thread_id referenced in function __vdev_logtype_bus
drivers\librte_bus_vdev-20.0.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
