Use leiningen and build an uberjar(standalone jar that contains all dependencies) from the project.
As Alex Ott mentions in the comment to my answer, another may to build your app is to use Maven + Clojure plugin for maven. Afterward you may use a tool such as IzPack to generate an installer or an executable wrapper for your jar artifact. You may use IzPack with leiningen as well of course – it doesn’t care about the build system at all – only about the resulting files 🙂
After you have the uberjar there are many option to wrap it in a native executable launcher for windows – izpack2exe, jsmooth, jar2exe, executor, etc…
