I recommend you to use CygWin that contains many tools and librairies from 
UNIX to Windows. Most of librairies needed to compile Gambas are into Cygwin. 
MinGW is a part that complete Cygwin. A kind of set that allows you to get a 
UNIX shell around librairies (like Qt, Gtk+ ... and so on).

No, to use fully Gambas you have to compile the main/ directory and the gb.qt 
component. The rest is not mandatory but recommanded of course. 

Have a look at this page : http://gambas.sourceforge.net/en/architecture.html
This is the Gambas architecture where you can click on each parts to see a 
small explanation. Through this you'll have an idea on how the project works 
over all.
