The problem is, that Maxima that comes with wxmaxima on windows runs on GCL, GCL doesn't support FFI (I think). On Windows GCL must be used for Maxima, because it's the only lisp that allows interrupting Maxima from wxMaxima.
The situation on 'unix' (Linux, Mac OS X,..) is better - you can use Maxima compiled on SBCL, which supports CFFI with wxMaxima.
I think it's possible to compile Maxima on windows with CLISP (which also has FFI capabilities), but it won't work with wxMaxima, so you have to use the command line Maxima...
