Great, it works now.

I hoped to just get it from my LyX version from the official installer 
but there the Hunspell dictionaries path is just empty - though spell 
checking works there anyway.

However, it seems LyX is installing the dictionaries into its

Resources\dicts

directory. (Where it probably needs no directory path then.) So I 
pointed my compiled version to the official version's dicts directory 
and now it works.
