[Aspell-user] Win compile with mingw

[Ryan Johnson]

Hello everyone,

I am having some compiltime errors when trying to compile aspell-0.50.2 
and aspell-0.50.4.1
OS: winXP
Mingw: MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe 
<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe?download>
mingw-make mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.exe 
<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.exe?download>

In the Makefile I have change the prefix to D:/aspell
I used the following Makefile and settings.h -> 
http://aspell.net/win32/files/win32/

######mingw32-make output aspell-0.50.2

I originally tried  aspell-0.50.4.1-vc++

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/w32/aspell-0.50.4.1-vc++-src.zip

but nmake had issues with the Makefile.

I must be missing something.

Thanks in advance.
