Aspell requires gcc 2.95 (or better) as the C++ compiler. Other C++
compilers should work with some effort. Other C++ compilers for mostly
POSIX compliant (Unix, Linux, BeOS, CygWin) systems should work without
any major problems provided that the compile can handle all of the
advanced C++ features Aspell uses. C++ compilers for non-Unix systems
might work but it will take some work. Aspell at very least requires a
Unix-like environment (sh
, grep
, sed
, tr
,
...), and Perl in order to build. Aspell also uses a few POSIX
functions when necessary.
