Thanks.
Also VC6 doesn't require as many changes as you'd think - but there are quite a few features that are in HEAD that are windows specific that I've pulled back down into the branch for a windows build - such as enabling relocatability for the binaries and using the windows api to retrieve a user's home directory for personal dictionaries. I have five compiler versions - VC6, 7, 7.1, 8 (2005) and 9 (2008) so take your pick. And yes the 2005 and 2008 versions are superior in standards support and binary speed and size but remember you'll have to deal with runtime distribution issues if you use anything but MinGW or VC6 - if you use MinGW you'll have to deal with the right flags so people who use VC6 can build against the libs.
I am Windows ignorant. Could you be more specific on "runtime distribution issues"?
I don't, however, have time to deal with the libraries issue - you'll need another volunteer for that ;)
What do you mean by "libraries issue"? _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
