Frankenstein is based on antares buildsystem, that's been only well tested in a Linux/FreeBSD environment. MAC OS X support is there as well, it works, but it lacks regular regression testing. Regarding windows - nobody ever tried that. It MIGHT work under cygwin, but I can't even guess what bugs might arise.
Without cygwin it's most likely a no-go, since windows lacks even the simplest command line tools... If you actually make antares work in windows environment without breaking linux/os x support - beer/coffee's on me ;)

#12543 Another BIG update. Thanks to all contributors ( darkbyte, d-a-v, pastcompute) that have done a hard job making this update possible. Here's the changelog:
  • Frankenstein is now based on 1.0 SDK
  • Fixed&optimized telnet
  • New and shiny experimental i2c subsystem with support for a whole bunch of sensors (BMP180, INA219, SHT21, BH1750, PCF8591, HMC5883, TCS2414, MLX90614).
  • Improved DHT11 and DHT22 sensors suport
  • TFTP Updates now use the first free block after the actual firmware, update file compression will be added soon.

As usual the binaries are at github, please post about any bugs you encounter
