Hi Tom,
I never bothered to support Windows as I live in a Windows-free world. I
am not aware of anyone working on that either.
Currently I started coding a new phrase-table that will be decoder
independent and is supposed to replace the current compact stuff in some
undefined future. But again, Windows-support is probably not something I
will put any effort into.

The whole decoder isn't Win64 compatible. I maintained compatibility for
years but it requires frequent small changes to the code. The pace and
diversity of commits is such that I've given up. It needs a small community
of WIndows users to chip in.

If you're willing to maintain it now and in the future, I'll make my
PhraseDictionaryOnDIsk support windows. Otherwise, just use cygwin/mingw
