[Aspell-user] Building Aspell 5.0 on win32

[François Boudreau]

Hello ! I'm trying to build Aspell 5.0 using Cygwin on WinXP.

I got an error when compiling.

I "fixed" that by adding these lines to speller.cpp
#include "Config.hpp"
#include "copy_ptr-t.hpp"


I get another error a bit later.

But all I want is the C interface and at this point all the dll I need
appear to be created. I tried the examples, they seem to work fine. So I
don't think I will investigate more. I'm just reporting the problem.


Thanks for writing Aspell ! Not that I tried it much yet, but it looks very
cool.
