Announce of Windows/ARM64 version; wish for Spell_Checker

@dinkumoil

Good news: Windows/ARM64 version is ready. ARM64 is called 'aarch64'.
It is published on the usual download place: SourceForge, 'Files' section.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cudate ... 1.234.0.2/

It has the Python 3.14 ARM64. If some plugin uses binary DLL file, it won't work until binary DLL for ARM64 is included. For example, Spell_Checker is shipped with binary DLL file (not for ARM64 yet).

Maybe not each release will be published with the ARM64 version, but sometimes, on bigger updates, I will compile it.

Spell_Checker authors:

Alexey Torgashin (CudaText)
Andreas Heim (@dinkumoil) added the Enchant Windows DLL support

Andreas, can you help with arm64 DLL files for Spell_Checker, please?

@TickDracy

@TickDracy, yet you are the only active user with Windows/ARM64, so I ask you to help with the above: add to the Spell_Checker plugin the support for Win/ARM64. for example, support for amd64 is done via

'enchant_x64' subdir with proper DLL-files inside ('data\bin' subdir, 'data\lib' too)
file 'enchant_architecture.py' which detects the arch:

import sys

def EnchantArchitecture():
  return 'enchant_x64' if sys.maxsize > 2**32 else 'enchant_x86'

BTW, the download-counter of Win/arm64 is about 150 per first week, it is bigger than dl-counter for Win/x86 32-bit version. It is good!

Hi @Alexey-T, I'm sorry, but I didn't fully understand the issue. Where is that Python code being used? On the plugin itself?

Wow! I was not aware that there were that many people using that. I had some health issues this week, but as soon as I recover, I will try to improve the workflow.

Yes, that was the part of the code of Spell_Checker,
https://github.com/cudatext-addons/cuda_spell_checker

So what I need is the change (in any form) of the SpellChk plugin. The change which allows the SpelLChk to work on Win/arm64.

Sorry about health issues...

Hey @Alexey-T, can you check my branch called arm64 and test it to see if it didn't break anything for x64: https://github.com/TickDracy/cuda_spell_checker/tree/arm64

How can I manually test the plugin on the Windows ARM version?

I don't use this plugin on macOS because it never worked properly for me there. I will probably open an issue dedicated to that version to not mix it with this one.

How can I manually test the plugin on the Windows ARM version?

How to test the SpellChecker:

plugin must give menu items in the 'plugins / spell checker' top menu
call the menu item 'Select language', it must show at least en_US de_DE langs (because these dicts are preinstalled in the subdir of plugin), choose En lang
in the new editor tab (lexer: None), type e.g. 'dfgkljdfjgkl dfglkdfgjl text some gfgmrtdftrt'
call the menu item 'Check text' -- it must highlight misspelled words

Hey, you and AI did the good job. Im impressed. Will test your version soon on x64

Your branch works on x64, like before it did...

correction to my post avobe: menu item 'Select language' is in different menu:
'options / settings-plugins / ...'.

Great news. I will test that tomorrow to see if it's working properly. And I assume if it is, this can be the final version?!

If your branch works on win/arm64, it is final version. And i will update the plugin in addons manager.

I'm having an issue when choosing the Select Language:

I'm trying to debug this, but it's being a bit tricky. I thought the issue was on the libenchant-2-2.ddl or other ones, but they seem fine.
Not only that, but I need the full log error message (the one on the screen seems truncated). Where can I find the logs for this?

This is usual messagebox, so its text can be copied by Ctrl+C. App don't have logs for this msgbox.
