This is covered in the Gambas FAQ, but should be made more 
explicit:

http://gambasdoc.org/help/doc/faq

What it says in the Gambas FAQ is that Gambas may become cross 
platform in the future, but there have been reports of success 
under Cygwin (a Unix extension for Windows.)

What it doesn't say is that one guy managed to get a few 
command-line programs working under Cygwin, but no Gtk or other 
graphical support yet at all, and a native Windows port will be 
a long time coming if it's possible at all.  

I think that gb.gtk will eventually work under Cygwin, though, if 
someone with time and the necessary skills takes an interest in 
doing that (since the guy who originally got it working hasn't 
been around for about half a year.)
