Their instructions for compiling it on Cygwin hints on its dependencies. Looks like a long list, but many of those probably have ports for other plaforms (e.g. Windows). The Wikipedia article says it has been ported to Mac and FreeBSD "based on using local versions of the X11 system". Perhaps these are leads...

Previously when I installed Gambas to Windows with Cygwin, I did not need to build from source. With Cygwin: setup-x86_64.exe --packages gambas3,xinit,xwin-xdg-menu Install from Internet, click Next Root Directory C:\cygwin64 , click Next Select Local Package Directory C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads - where setup files are downloaded before installing, click Next Select Internet Connection / Direct Connection, click Next Choose a Download Site - I did select http://ftp-stud.hs-esserlingen.de http://ftp-stud.hs-esserlingen.de but some other could also work Select Packages - All required is selected, click Next Wait while downloading and installing Checkmark: [X] Create icon on Desktop [X] Add icon to Start Menu Click Finished Start Gambas this way: Start / All Programs / Cygwin-X / XWin-Server From hidden taskbar right corner icons select icon that has black C and in middle of it light green X. From there click Programming / Gambas3.

  Thanks. Though, I still think it would be cool if there's a more native port that runs out of the box. Curious to know the experience on the Gambas apps produced in Windows. I guess they would also need Cygwin?

    I tried to install Gambas with info above, and seems it did not start on Win10. I also think that on Windows Cygwin is required. Following is from bottom of page http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/faq?nh&l=en#t12 http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/faq?nh&l=en#t12 "Will you port Gambas to Windows™ ? I won't, but I will help any people trying to do that. Gambas already runs under Cygwin. Note that there is a lot of things to port, if you want to do a native port: process management, gb.qt4 component, and so on... This is a huge job. The most promising compiler target would be Mingw-w64, which also allows cross compilation on a unix-like system." If you use Gambas for making web apps, then you could use webbrowser to access those apps. Gambas IDE has wizard for web app, and some components that can be dragged to form. From some forum discussions I have read that debugging those web apps is easier then debugging php apps.
