a few years ago – the notes on the results of these efforts can be found on the FAQ page here:

doesn’t help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">But the age of these notes means that a better alternative console may well have come along in the meantime. If anyone knows of any
do let us know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

that will happen when I work out native building rather than cross-compiling; the Ubuntu box that I used to do the cross-compiling seems to have become terminally broken so this seemed a rather good juncture to work out the process for native compilation on
Win.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and will recognize "├¡" in input as "í". With chcp 65001, a couple of the alternatives show the utf-8 output correctly, but I have been unable to input anything and have it recognised as a utf-8 character. Also the alternative tools all throw out warnings

cqp and choosing my corpus, but giving a word to search for produced "cqp has stopped working". So I don't know if the utf-8 would show correctly in Windows 10, cqp didn't even get that far. Has anyone else tried CWB under Windows 10?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">in my opinion, it is best to run cwb in a virtual Linux environment under windows. I recall a VirtualBox image developed by the cwb team which works out of the box; by sharing a folder between windows and VirtualBox, you can safely play
around with files and directories. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">By the way, in the following weeks I hope to start a project aimed at providing docker containers for Cwb; docker containers are a new (well, not so new) technique of virtualization, which works pretty well under windows and macOS (and
Linux, of course).<o:p></o:p></p>
