Well, after doing a clean clone and rebuilding everything it worked.  I'm not sure what the issue was, but something must've went wrong the first time.

I see you've opened an issue about this.  I think the README definitely needs to be updated.  It's not very user friendly and is somewhat ambiguous.  Also, I think the dev guide could be improved as well.  I think Windows users (actually, I'm more of Linux user, but whatever) tend to get the short end of the stick in a lot of open-source projects.  I think that's a trend that needs to change.
