The ASPELL_API macro was used for this. + +The diffs were based on the earlier diffs to 0.50.2 by Francois +Boudreau <fboudreau@accentus.ca>. + +This patch produces both aspell.dll and aspell.lib, as well as +aspell.exe and acompress.exe (renamed from compress.exe to avoid +collision with a similarly-named Win32 utility). + +This Win32 port was done by Tony Lavinio of PSC Labs, with help from +Ivan Pedruzzi. We turn all rights to our changes back over to Kevin +Atkinson. + +To use this port: +- Create a directory (we'll call it 'aspell') +- Unzip the aspell-0.50.4.1-win32-src.zip file. + (Alternately, you can start with aspell-0.50.4.1, and apply the + patch file provided, and then copy over the missing files from the + .zip file, but that's just a lot of busy work.) +- You can save time building by unpacking the + aspell-0.50.4.1-win32-bin.zip file. + +The dictionaries can be built from the .cwl files by using the line + acompress d <xx.cwl | aspell -lang=xx create master xx.rws + + +###################################################################### + +ASPELL 0.50.2 on WIN32 +---------------------- + +This patch should allow Aspell to compile with VC++. The changes were +submitted to by Francois Boudreau <fboudreau@accentus.ca>: + + It's a bit of a mess, we were not very consistent in our editing. We + went for the quickess fix, so a few things were just disabled, like + file locking and locales. And we had to remove a few const. + +I, the author of Aspell, do not even know if it will work or the other +steps needed to get Aspell to compile under Win32. If you have +problems with this patch please contact Francois Boudreau +<fboudreau@accentus.ca> and not me since I do not have a copy of VC++ +and in general dislike Microsoft Windows. + +Kevin Atkinson + +###################################################################### + |
