I don't see a Qt/GPL Version for Windows. I can't find it on their site either and now their current Version is 3.xx. But if I'm not mistaken, 2.xx Version was GPL-ed, so it can be obtained from somewhere else. and btw, it's not compiler, it's a GUI library (plus few extra libraries and tools)

Also, if I'm going to write cross-platform code, I'd rather do it in Java. The only advantage to writing in C++ would be to use the (obviously non-portable) MFC libraries.

The use of MFC is only advantageous in commercial projects, where you're getting paid for fixing MFC bugs ;-)
