Hi,
it seems that most significant problems of building AbiWord@MinGW
are now solved. At least I'm able to create a working (but actually
not very stable) 'AbiWord.exe' and even 'setup_abiword.exe' on my
Windows 98 & 2000 systems. :-)
But I still have 3 little questions:
1. MinGW port produces two binaries: AbiWord.exe and libAbiWord.dll.
It is different from MSVC port which produces AbiWord.exe only. This
causes some difficulties, eg. we need have different nsis scripts for
these port (or employ some other tricks). May be it is better to link
AbiWord@MinGW statically?
2. ru-RU.hash from www.abisource.com doesn't work properly with
compiled version of AbiWord. It correctly highlights misspelled words,
but a list of suggestion which appears on right mouse click is
unreadable. It's probably due to incorrect charset conversion
('ispell_dictionary_list.xml' has correct encoding for ru-RU.hash,
I've checked this). I even dare to suppose (basing on the look of the
mess I'm getting instead of suggestions) that AbiWord fails to
convert koi8-r to unicode. But! If I choose something from that list,
the word pasted into the editor would be correct and quite readable.
3. By default, AbiWord starts in 'Normal window'. I prefer to see
maximized window of the editor. Maybe it is worth to be implemented as
default (as it was in AbiWord 1.0.4 for Windows)?
I was in doubt whether I should post items 2,3 to Bugzilla or here so
sorry if I've made a wrong decision.
Regards,
Valentine
