This a bit theoretical (untested, please correct me if I am wrong)

It is quite likely on windows that you will not have wget installed, which is required by the auto-build Rakefile (in vendors folder), you can get it here http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/. However there is a work around that might actually be better for windows users, just download the required files (Mac version of processing, and jruby-complete) to the vendors folders, read vendors/Rakefile to find which versions are required. If are going to be using regular processing on windows, it might seem to make sense to use that version instead (but that would require a different Rakefile).

The script does a sha1sum check on the wget downloaded files, I am not 100% sure that is available on windows either (just having files in vendors folder will skip that check)

When building on windows it might be better to do

rake install

rather just rake ( which defaults to rake "build and test" ) as the tests may not be working on windows.
