You should be able to build Mahout on Windows, but by skipping the tests because they sometimes generate weird errors in Windows. The following command should do it:
mvn clean install -DskipTests I just tested building mahout-0.3 with mvn 2.1.0 on Windows Vista and it went fine. Mahout contains a lot of useful stuff, some of it requires Hadoop to run, but some not. So you should probably be more specific about what you want to use.
