aspell on Windows

[AKielhorn]

Hello!

I know this used to work.

I installed scimax on a Windows 10 computer.

Now every time I try to export something, it won't because it doesn't find aspell. Was aspell included in an older version of emacs-win?

Shouldn't spellchecking simply be disabled when no spellchecker is found?

Next step:

I got hunspell from EZWinPorts and it works on the command line.

Again, I added the PATH and the path appears in exec-path.

I changed aspell to hunspell in scimax-spellcheck.el.

File mode specification error: (file-missing Searching for program No such file or directory hunspell)

Any ideas how to debug this?

As seen with jupyter I have added a check to packages.el

(if (executable-find "aspell")
   (use-package scimax-spellcheck
    :ensure nil
    :load-path scimax-dir)
  (message "aspell was not found on your path. Spellchecking will be disabled."))

Nevertheless I would like to get spell checking working on Windows.

I think this will probably be fixed with the homebrew installation.
