Text::Aspell on Win32 box (Perl 5.10)

fayland has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

anyone got any luck on Text::Aspell in Win32 box?
from the http://search.cpan.org/src/HANK/Text-Aspell-0.09/README, there is only 5.8 ppd
and I tried to compile from the source code and get:

E:\Downloads\Text-Aspell-0.09>perl Makefile.PL CCFLAGS=-IC:/strawberry

What version of Perl do you run? If 5.10 then version for 5.8 should work too, if 5.6 there is also a ppd available. If earlier version, then upgrade =). If you wonder why there are two module versions for 5.8 and 5.6 is that these two Perl versions where binary incompatible, so all XS modules had to be recompiled. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

You could still try downloading the archive from here unzip it and do a manual install. See A guide to installing modules for Win32 for instructions how to do so. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

The Aspell library is being found ok, so those 'undefined references' should have been resolved if your Aspell library was capable of resolving them. I'm therefore wondering if the version of Aspell that you have is not suited to Text-Aspell-0.09. Perhaps it is too old (or too new). What version of the Aspell library do you have, and where did you get it ? Cheers, Rob	[reply]
