[Aspell-user] distributing aspell with your win32 application

Hi all,

How do I setup my app to include aspell dictionaries as part of its installation?

I found the win32 installers, but I don't want my users to have to install the spell checker separately from the application.

Are there instructions anywhere on how to setup a set of dictionaries other than running the installer or a build process. e.g. "Put these files here, set this config variable" rather than "run this exe, pass this option to when building from source"

It seems just copying the dict directory (or dict and data) is a no-no as even when changing the prefix, this leads to unload-able dictionaries, at least for me.

To recap:
I only want my users to have to run a single installer, I don't want to point them at other websites for some default dictionaries
I want the end result to be simple for my users
its the dictionaries that seem to be tripping me up, not loading the dll.

Thanks for any help,

Ian.
