Could not load FFI Provider

(Thanks again for the great work on AsciiDoctor)

I have asciidoctor working fine on Linux, now I have been trying to get the same thing to work on Windows (7) and I get this:

Caught: org.jruby.exceptions.RaiseException: (LoadError) Could not load FFI Provider: (NotImplementedError) FFI not available: com/kenai/jffi/Platform

After googling I have tried:
* Setting TMP
* Setting TEMP
* Setting neither TMP or TEMP
* Setting both
* Setting java.io.tmpdir

Nothing seems to work. I'm running asciidoctor from a groovy script, (no gradle) and using JRuby 9.1.2.

Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure this is a known issue with Windows and JRuby 9k. I think it happens when the TMP and TEMP environment variables are not set.

For context, see https://github.com/jruby-gradle/jruby-gradle-plugin/commit/31472260e0d28c986ba7798a2ca5dc24344886eb

Re: Could not load FFI Provider

As I said I had tried setting TEMP and TMP but that did not help.

However using jruby-complete rather than just jruby does solve the problem. Then I hit another problem:

Caught: org.jruby.exceptions.RaiseException: (SystemCallError) Unknown error 123 - FindFirstFile
org.jruby.exceptions.RaiseException: (SystemCallError) Unknown error 123 - FindFirstFile

        at RUBY.<top>(uri:classloader:/gems/prawn-1.3.0/lib/prawn.rb:11)
