[Aspell-user] successfull build

[Mahesh T Pai]

Hi all,

I have built aspell 0.50.2 on win98 using cygwin.

I am trying to use it with jedit; it seems that it will work.

But,

./sh configure &&make --enable-win32-relocatable throws up an error 
message like this:-

1. A required.dll file, C:\windows\temp\cct3rele6.exe was not found
On another attempt, the file name was cc0mpugy.exe It seems that the 
file name always starts with 'cc'. (I tried for four five times).

2. note the 'sh' in the command line.  (Probably, something wrong with 
cygwin environment?)

3. ./make install spewed out so many errors, and towards the end, 
showed something about error 127, and exited with status 1.

4. An earlier build with the options:-

--prefix=/cygdrive/d/progra~1/aspell 
--bindir=/cygdrive/d/progra~1/aspell/bin 
--sbindir=/cygdrive/d/progra~1/aspell/sbin

still put the dlls and exe file in /usr/local .. etc. What is wrong 
here? Is it the cygwin environment?

5. I am not a programmer, if you have not already guessed that.  If 
somebody tells me what files are used by the binary, maye, I can try 
to put a tarball somewhere on the web - probably, somebody not used to 
building own binaries can use them.

I think I got the following
    File Name                  size
mk-dirs_h.exe                 204,002
cygaspell-common-0-50-2.dll 2,321,883
word-list-compress.exe         29,619
pspell-config                     413
run-with-aspell                    86
aspell-import                   2,044
cygaspell-15.dll            6,406,502
aspell.exe                  1,548,633

Thanks,
