From kevin@atkinson.dhs.org Wed Oct 2 23:00:28 2002 Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2002 17:27:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Kevin Atkinson To: aspell-announce@gnu.org, aspell-user@gnu.org, aspell-devel@gnu.org Subject: ANNOUNCE: Patch so that Aspell will Compile with VC++ I have just uploaded a patch which should allow Aspell to compile with VC++. The changes were submitted to me by Francois Boudreau : 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 and not me since I do not have a copy of VC++ and in general dislike Microsoft Windows. The file is called aspell-0.50-vc++.diff.gz and you can get it the same places Aspell is available. Mainly ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell. I plan on incorporating some of his changes in the mainline version of Aspell, but now all as some of the changes are rather ugly. -- http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org
