Exactly. Using non-Jumbo, you need to run on a host supporting the
crypt() library call *and* that supports sha512crypt using it.
The solution is building a fresh "bleeding edge" Jumbo for Windows. You
should do so for Linux too since the sha512crypt format is at least 2x
faster than the generic crypt format. Building on Windows is a challenge
compared to most other systems. There are instructions at
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/tutorials/win64-howto-build but they are
not 100% updated. For a starter, the "make -j4 win64-cygwin-x86-64"
should be replaced with "./configure && make -sj4". I can't be arsed to
touch that OS so I won't update the wiki. But others here do use Windows
so just try it and come back with any specific questions.
