Archana, In theory, the fundamental GNOME libraries including Glib and GTK are cross-platform. It's possible to build these libraries for Windows, and using these, some GNOME applications can be built for Windows. For example, the gedit web page (https://projects.gnome.org/gedit/) has a link to a Windows binary for gedit, though it's a very old version (2.30).
Just to extend it a bit more: Making the new platform available for Windows would be a project by itself. Although, it can be a major task which could require background in both, the GNOME platform and Windows platform (if there is anything to fix in the underlying libraries). There are several of them that have been cross-compiled already, but they have not been widely tested (or even tested, as far as I know), neither they have installers created. In short, it would be really appreciated if somebody could work on that. But you would be mostly by your own, and because of that, this might not be the best way to start contributing. -- Germán Poo-Caamaño http://calcifer.org/
