#GCC
4 messages in this thread
Hi,
I recently downloaded Ispell, and would like to make my own dictionary. I have
GNU-GCC installed, but as I am not a programmer at all, just don't know where
to start. Can anyone guide me through ?

If you don't know how to program then writing a dictionary in C could be a bit
too much to start with. I can explain how to impement a dictionary if you like
but be warned it isn't a job for someone who doen't know how to program. If
you know how to program it is simple.

It seems to me that he was implying that Ispell was a dictionary,
though it sounds like a spell check program, but anyway that he downloaded
the source and wanted to get a binary of it somehow.
Lieven, please elaborate!
Greg,
you are right, I haven't been very clear asking away that question about
Ispell, let me try to explain.
I have the source and the binaries of Ispell, which is a spellchecker with an
arexx port. The archive comes with an english dictionary. The source states
that provided one can get hold of a list of words, a dictionary of one's choice
can be compiled along. But…I tried recompiling it with DICE and that didn't
work, the source probably relies heavily on the way gcc works. And that's where
my cry for help comes in, how does one operate gcc, it is far from intuitive.
A friend suggested to get hold of the utilities, apparantly a special shell is
provided which should make things clearer.
But if someone has suggestions, …please, don't hold back.
