Spell Checking Revisited

[LM]

SciTE is my favorite programming editor. I'd really like to see the
addition of tools like an external but compatible spelling checker and
maybe a grammar checker. It can do practically everything else. I
finally found a workable C/C++ spell checking library and I put
together a simple front-end based on an example program. I now have a
spell-checker program based on the aspell library that works on
Windows and DeLi Linux. It outputs error messages similar to a gnu C/C
++ compiler, so you can integrate it the way you would a compiler and
click on the errors to jump to the related lines in a file.

If anyone's interested, I have instructions on how to compile the
spell-checker and the needed libraries it uses at
http://www.distasis.com/cpp/scitetip.htm#spell
It's all Open Source code and it's offered as is.

Wanted to share it with other users who've wanted a spell-checker.

Best wishes.

Could be linked from the extras page which is editable by group
members. It would be possible to show mistakes as red underlines with
some Lua after the command has been run. There'd be issues then with
the underlines losing validity as the file is edited.

This is actually very cool. As Neil suggests, one can make these
things even more intelligent, but ah, looking after the decorations
would be a Bugger. A smart script could even drop down a list
of suggestions on an offending word...

For the truly impatient among us, could we have a link to the compiled
libraries? Most of us don't use msys, and I know for a fact that
most of us don't even have compilers ;)

I want to throw in my 2 cents. I am very interested in the spelling
checker functionality. I hope this gets incorporated into SciTE for
the average user. Thanks.

Is it convenient or appropriate to distribute the compiled binaries?
As steve mentioned, most of us do not use MSYS. I
n particular I found with MSYS installed Mingw sometimes fails to
compile SciTE and other programs, so I must keep away from MSYS on my
system.
