I want to resolve my problems with the config keywords home-dir, dict-dir, data-dir, local-data-dir, master-path, filter-path, and prefix.
Most Windows programs put their data in the installation folder within the "/Program Files" folder. Personal data goes under "My Documents". The installation folder or "My Documents" can be renamed or moved around. Aspell doesn't have anything that I can use to setup a master config file that will find those folders. There are functions that I can call to find those directories, but I need a hook so that I can call them. #define WIN32_USE_EXECUTABLE_DIR 1 #if WIN32_USE_EXECUTABLE_DIR # define PREFIX "!prefix" # define DICT_DIR "<PREFIX>/dicts" #else # define PREFIX "aspell-win32" # define DICT_DIR "dicts" #endif #define CONF_DIR "<PREFIX>" #define DATA_DIR "<PREFIX>/data" !prefix expand to the directory where the executable/or dll is. I do not understand why you would want to modify the definition of home based on the location of the executable. I'm still thinking of using a default value of !home-dir which would expand to "/My Documents" or what every the current users personal folder is. To avoid upsetting current user, I'm thinking of using another maco name WIN32_USE_PERSONAL_DIR #if defined(WIN32_USE_PERSONAL_DIR) # define HOME_DIR "!home-dir" # define PERSONAL "<lang>.pws" # define REPL "<lang>.prepl" #elif defined(ENABLE_WIN32_RELOCATABLE) # define HOME_DIR "<prefix>" # define PERSONAL "<lang>.pws" # define REPL "<lang>.prepl" #else # define HOME_DIR "<$HOME|./>" # define PERSONAL ".aspell.<lang>.pws" # define REPL ".aspell.<lang>.prepl" #endif What do you think? Also why isn't HOME_DIR dirs.h? _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
