You are close, but there's more behind this point. You'll need the latest CVS,
which has some win32 fixes not present in .50.1. My method:

1. #undef ERROR in info.cpp; #undef OUT in
modules/speller/default/readonly_ws.cpp. Or properly:

#ifdef ERROR
#undef ERROR
#endif

etc.

2. kill all the postdeps/predeps(_objects) in libtool, remove -nostdlib from
the link line. The provided libtool is not up to date with the latest mingw
release.

3. kill the relink functionality in libtool. This makes no sense with .dll's.

4. At some point you'll have to do a path correction in lib/libaspell.la.

5. merge the ENABLE_WIN32_RELOCATABLE stuff from aspell-0.3. eg:

Aspell 0.3 with enable-win32-relocatable used to assume that the binary was in
<prefix>. It makes more sense to put all executables & .dll's in <prefix>/bin.
This makes it easier to integrate aspell into other unix->win32 ports.

Cheers,

Ruurd
