GNU Aspell 0.50 (Win32 version)

Here you will find the latest binaries of GNU-ASpell for Windows.
They are compiled with MinGW GCC using the native Win32 API. They are not intended to be used in the Cygwin environment, for that purpose use the default "configure; make; make install" cycle, like on all other Posix systems.
In the development section you can find linkable libraries for MinGW GCC and MS VisualC++, a Delphi unit and custom builds of Aspell.

Binaries:

Installation: Download and run the full installer .exe file.

Latest Version: GNU Aspell-0.50.3 (win32)

• Full installer (Released Dec 22, 2002)

Precompiled dictionaries:

Installation: Install Aspell first, then run the wordlist setup.
Note to unix users: On systems using the x86 byte order, you can these dictionaries as well: Extract the .exe files with unzip and run the "unix-install" script from the TmpInstall directory.
