[aspell-devel] aspell-cvs on Windows

[Peter Kümmel]

Hello,

I've successfully compiled aspell-cvs (also aspell-60.4) on windows
with mingw and the free-as-beer compiler Visual C++ 2005 Express.

The changes were minimal, due to the clean C++ code of aspell. :)

I had to add some functions from dirent.h to compile
and link aspell.exe.

I've used CMake 2.4.2 which generates makefiles for mingw (cmd shell),
mingw (msys shell), nmake, and project files for the IDE. All files
could reside in a separate folder and will not pollute the hierarchy.

If you are interested in adding this support to aspell, I could
provide the files and more information - and will also have more
questions :)

Best regards,
Peter
