Someone ported an older version of Gambas to Windows using Cygwin, but I doubt current versions would work.  If you need something crossplatform that uses BASIC, I think RealBasic might be your only choice right now.  If you need something free or open source for Windows only, maybe you could use something like Emergence BASIC or BCX Pro Suite, or one of the other environments listed here (note, most of them are command line compilers but some are full IDEs like Gambas or VB):

i'm currently working on the windows port of Gambas 2. It's a huge project that asks a lot of times.
I compiled with success the gambas compiler and i'm working on gambas' interpreter (gbx) at the moment.

By the way, if there are persons who would like to help me, you can contact to me at : garulfounix (a) gmail (dot) com

There was some interest in a Windows port on the gambas-user mailing list recently, so you should probably announce your progress there as well.

The only candidate I can think of right now would be RealBasic, which is commercial software. 

Mono Basic is another possibility.  But that's pretty new and I don't know if I would trust it with production applications, and then there's the danger inherent in writing software based on a system in which Microsoft owns a ton of patents.

Regardless, you won't be able to just copy and paste your Gambas code and have it compile.

GarulfoUnix, do you mean that right now, I could compile my Gambas program code I wrote in Linux and get an executable file for Windows?
