You will need windows to compile windows wallet. Under Ubuntu you may use a virtual machine with windows.

Older versions of bitcoin, and most altcoins have a minGW makefile that allows cross building.
For recent build, Gitian is the recommended method. You can find detailed information here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/gitian-building.md

I think you must use - virtual machine and install windows, and then Windows wallet. Otherwise you can have problems with the wallet  ;D

I heared most windows wallets are compiled under linux tough.... i guess they use wingw and mxe.

I cannot succeed in this myself (i tried to make a coin for usage in our family, the sourcecode, daemon and linux wallet took me less than a day, crosscompiling the windows wallet didn't succeed after 2 days... that's when i gave up)
