I have no idea what motivated me however I decided to install Cygwin on my Win95 machine and give compiling aspell a while. With a few modifications to the source I was able to build a native win32 binary using mingw msvcrt gcc 2.95.2. You can find the fruits of my labor at http://aspell.sourceforge.net/ Here are the release notes: This is a special prerelease of Aspell that will compile and run one win32. Unless you are using win32 you should be using version .30 and not .30win32 as this version has not been tested on a anything except win32 and linux. It has NO improvements over aspell-.30 except for portability fixes. The precompiled binary needs to be installed in the *:\aspell such as c:\aspell in order for it to work. It needs Cygwin installed. I used 20B but earlier versions should work. The egcs distributed with Cygwin however it will NOT work for some strange reason. Use gcc 2.95.2. The precompiled binary was created with the Mingw version to make a native binary, however the cygwin version should work. Also, all future version of aspell should compile under cygwin using the mingw compiler. --- Kevin Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://metalab.unc.edu/kevina/ _______________________________________________ aspell-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/aspell-user
