npm doesn't currently support building C++ addons on Windows, but @Benvie has forked Contextify and compiled binaries for Windows. Check out: https://github.com/Benvie/contextify for more info.

I also have a fork I'm using to get try to get builds going for windows using gyp: https://github.com/springmeyer/contextify.

[brianmcd]

That's awesome. I'm not very familiar with Windows development, so if there's a way I can merge your work into the main repository and get npm installs working on Windows, please let me know!

[springmeyer]

there is not a way yet that I know of. Basically the community needs to work out a system at nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#2136. It looks like gyp will be the basis which is why I am learning how to use it, but my work is not at all modular yet or going to work yet with npm. I just posted here to give a heads up - but its not a real solution yet.

Also look at #12

See #17 for Windows support added through gyp and node-gyp.

@srounce not sure what you're talking about; contextify has no hard dependency on jsdom.

Wrong tab, hence the deletion.
