51 <p>Aspell requires gcc 2.95 (or better) as the C++ compiler. Other C++
52 compilers should work with some effort. Other C++ compilers for mostly
53 POSIX compliant (Unix, Linux, BeOS, Cygwin) systems should work without
54 any major problems provided that the compile can handle all of the
55 advanced C++ features Aspell uses. C++ compilers for non-Unix systems
56 might work but it will take some work. Aspell at very least requires a
57 Unix-like environment (<samp><span class="file">sh</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">grep</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">sed</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">tr</span></samp>,
58 <small class="dots">...</small>), and Perl in order to build. Aspell also uses a few POSIX
59 functions when necessary.
