Hi
On this point, I have (for many years) built my Windows executables on a Mac
with a cross-compiler; it is possible to install MinGW on a Windows box and
have gcc, g++, gfortran available. If you want X windows & the compilers, you
could install Cygwin. However, I'd prefer to use a proper Unix-style
environment...
