Aspell on Windows


1. You need cmake and cygwin (with Unix line endings!!).

2. - check out the latest CVS version: 
  http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=aspell

3. autogen.sh is located in Maintainer folder
   Copy it to aspell-root

4. export CXXFLAGS=-fpermissive

5. Apply the patches

patch -d aspell -p1 < ../patches/aspell-soundslike-simple.patch
	patch -d aspell -p1 < ../patches/aspell-g++-4.3.patch
	patch -d aspell -p1 < ../patches/aspell-copycon-warn.patch
	patch -d aspell -p1 < ../patches/aspell-ign-case.patch
	patch -d aspell -p1 < ../patches/aspell-g++-4.9.patch


 
First build with cygwin to autogenerate all required  files:

6. Run ./autogen (copy from the Maintaniner folder)
7. export CXXFLAGS=-fpermissive and run ./configure
     in Cygwin-32
8. Run ./make
  
9. Copy the files from the LyX SVN aspell/win32
Correct the patch by removind everything related to Registry.

By using Cygwin, patch aspell, call in aspell/:
    
patch -p0 -i win32/win32-aspell.patch

10.
- make a separate build directory and run 
  on a standard Windows command promp:

cmake <Aspell source directory>\win32

Use -DLINK=shared to build the libraries as shared


- build mingw makefiles files in 
  - cmd.exe shell:
    cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" <Aspell source directory>\win32 
  - in a MSYS shell
    cmake -G"MSYS Makefiles"  <Aspell source directory>\win32 
  
  
The patched Aspell reads the location of the dictonary from 
the registry. You can either install the dictionaries using 
the official 1.4.2 installer or download them at:
