Thanks for the reply !

I can get the error if my  static_filters.src.cpp is not correct.

I do NOT have his file in the lib/ subdir but in the gen/  subdir
!


Below is the array from my static_filters.src.cpp which defines

And I do NOT have this filters list inside this file anyway !!


The file is generated by gen/mk-static-filter.pl. I don't recall

I don't know much about those *amf files ?? Should I create some
first
before running copnfigure ??

Hi,
Your static_filters.src.cpp doesn't look very good to me.

In the tar ball I downloaded (aspell-0.60.4.tar.gz 11/1/05) I had
several amf files under this directory.
aspell-0.60.4/modules/filter/mode/
Please take a look at a listing of your tar archive and see if
you have them. You may need to reinstall.

Btw, I had a problem installing under cygwin. The parts of the
script that piped to the sort function hung on me. When I removed
strings like "| sort", I had a successful build. Keep in mind I'm
working from a memory that is not always reliable!

You ask what changes I made to Aspell. Good changes! Mostly my
changes were to make it compile with VC6 and Borlands BCB5.5.
Mostly, Aspell is a text application that depends on clib and
making it compatible with popular compilers makes it much more
useful. I also made my own library functions for parsing the text
to be checked. See aspell_speller_word_seperator_length() and
aspell_speller_word_length().
