Here is an  extract from the WIKI. It is old but is the best available
info AFAIK:

    Compiling 1.3.5svn on Windows is somewhat easier (than 1.3.3.x) as
all needed components are available on Windows at no cost, noticeably
qt4 and Visual C++ express editions. Msvc projects for msvc 2005 have
also been commited to trunk and are kept up to date. Instructions for
building with CMake + Visual Studio are also provided in trunk. 

As of January 2009.

If Jean Ghall passes on to a better life someone else will pick up the
torch. The MSWin and OS X users are essential parts of the
community. Indeed one useful feature (access to the Style Editor
directly from the story editor) was deleted because OS X couldn't handle
it.
