Subject: [Aspell-user] aspell.conf is not recognized under
windows


Hey,

I want to use aspell C-Api in a program and managed to get it
working
nicely, but
I need to provide the envvar LANG instead of being able to use a
aspell.conf in the home directory.
Also I tried to set the conf-dir via aspell_config_replace which
worked internally because a apsell_config_retrieve showed that
what I
have set. But the aspell.conf in this directory was not
recognized
too. also a .aspell.conf there did not work.

I tried it with aspell_config_clone, no success too.

btw. the new_aspell_speller is called afterwards of course, with
the
cloned or changed config as parameter.

the error what i do get is 'No word lists can be found for the
language "en_US" '
en_US I think is the default if no envvar or aspell.conf
respectively
.aspell.conf was found.

Any suggestions?

Ciao Ephraim

Hi Ciao,
I've had problems with changing settings. One problem was
initializing the speller properly. This is what I'm currently
doing in my setup code.
  AspellConfig * Config_;
  AspellSpeller * Speller_;
 Config_ = new_aspell_config();
 AspellCanHaveError * ret
  = new_aspell_speller(Config_);
 if (aspell_error(ret)) {
    const char *err_msg = aspell_error_message(ret);
    WIDEBUFF(msg, err_msg,strlen(err_msg),CP_ACP);
  MessageBox(HWnd, WSTR(msg, err_msg), _("Spell Check"),MB_OK);
  CmCancel(HWnd); //close the dialog
  return;
 }

 Speller_ = to_aspell_speller(ret);

You can find the whole source at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/descdatadiary
If you have more questions, you might mention which version of
aspell you are using.
One of the changes I made to the above changed where aspell.conf
was found. I made it look to the executable directory and to "My
Documents" for the user files like en.pws.
