Re: [aspell-devel] Windows port - native

[Nicolas Hatier]

I submitted a patch, even if it's not a real patch file. Since there was several new files and directory, as well as a few binary files, a patch file was probably not appropriate.

Before creating it I completed the work. I created a batch script to install an aspell build in a selected directory, and on another to install a downloaded dictionary - always on Win32 and Win64, without requiring any dependency.

I also worked on the long-forgotten set-prefix part of the ENABLE_WIN32_RELOCATABLE feature so the prefix can automatically be set based on the binary location.

The patch package is quite large (near 1Mb) since it contains a few Windows binaries required for the dictionary install script.

The patch package, to be extracted over the official aspell-0.60.5 package, is available at
http://www.niversoft.com/downloads/aspell-0.60.5-msvc-patch.zip

A full package containing the official package on which the patch has been applied can be downloaded at
http://www.niversoft.com/downloads/aspell-0.60.5-msvc.tar.bz2

I also created two pre-built packages (Win32 and x64), but I won't publish the URLs now. E-mail me offlist if you really want them.

Nicolas Hatier

Hello.

I developed a native Windows port of aspell, to be able to easily
build it in MS Visual Studio. 

The current MinGW solution has been quite handy, but I was asked to
create a 64-bit version aspell on Windows, and MinGW does not
currently provide any 64-bit capability.

Yes, I for one, would be very interested as I have had people express
similar requirements, but have no knowledge of programming on Windows,
and with MSVC++. You can, of course, submit a patch at the aspell
project page, http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=245

Can you put it up somewhere for download in the meantime? If you need
hosting space, we can arrange for some. Please contact me off-list in
this case.

Regards,
Gora
