[Richard LIU]

Hello,
I encouted an error when try to use hunspell with emacs 26.3 on windows 10.
Please give me some help.
I installed hunspell on D:/Install , and hunspell.exe was in D:/Install/hunspell/src/tools/.
The dictionary files: en_US.aff and en_US.dic, were put in D:/Install/hunspell/src/tools/.
my config:

What does Hunspell display if you run it from the cmd.exe shell's
prompt like this:

  hunspell -D

emacs ispell error on windows10 with hunspell

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6625 bytes --]

hello, I am the one who sent email from "richardliu1987@163.com" for help,
I realize today that I can not receive a reply with my 163 mail. I heard
from my friend about your kind reply. Thank you very much!
Inspired by your answer，I think my problem may be caused by the wrong
placement of hunspell dictionary files, so I copied the dictionary
files " en_US.aff"
and "en_US.dic "  to the dictionary C:/Hunspell. And I retyped hunspell -D
in cmd and get the following reply:
[image: image.png]
then I correct the init.el file as the following:
(add-to-list 'exec-path "D:/Install/hunspell/src/tools/")
(setq ispell-program-name "hunpell")
(use-package ispell
  :config
  (setq ispell-program-name
        "D:/Install/hunspell/src/tools/hunspell.exe"))
(setq ispell-hunspell-dict-paths-alist
      '(("en_US" "C:/hunspell/en_US.aff")))
(setq ispell-dictionary "en_US")
(setq ispell-personal-dictionary "C:/hunspell/en_US.aff")

then I opened emacs and typed " M-x ispell "  and get the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error
"D:/Install/hunspell/src/tools/hunspell.exe did not output version line")
  signal(error ("D:/Install/hunspell/src/tools/hunspell.exe did not output

If you read the error message carefully, you will see that Hunspell
complains about the "default" dictionary, not about the en_US
dictionary.  So you should copy en_US.dic to default.dic and en_US.aff
to default.aff in the same C:\Hunspell directory, and your problem
should be solved.

What does the following display, if you type the command from the
Windows cmd.exe shell prompt?

  D:\Install\hunspell\src\tools\hunspell.exe -vv

Let's start from the beginning.

  emacs -Q
  M-: (setq ispell-program-name "D:/Install/hunspell/src/tools/hunspell.exe") RET
  M-x ispell RET

What does the above give you?

That tells me that everything is fine when you invoke Hunspell from
"emacs -Q".  So something in your customizations gets in the way, and
you should investigate what it is by looking at your init files.

Re: emacs ispell error on windows10 with hunspell

[Robert Thorpe]

I've just installed Hunspell on Windows myself.  It worked fine for me.

I think that Eli Zaretski is right about your problem.  I'll mention a
couple of things though.

In the code you quote you have mispelled Hunspell

> (setq ispell-program-name "hunpell")

I don't think that makes any difference though because of the
use-package line that follows it.

I found I didn't need much complexity.  I just put the following in my
init file and it spelled using the UK dictionary as I wanted.

(setq ispell-program-name "hunspell")
(setq ispell-local-dictionary "en_GB")

I notice that you have set your personal dictionary like this:

> (setq ispell-personal-dictionary "C:/hunspell/en_US.aff")

As I understand it, the personal dictionary is used for words that are
personal to the user.  It's there if you want to permit yourself to use
a word that's not in the normal dictionary.  I'm not sure you can use it
like this.

BR,
Robert Thorpe
