According to depends.exe, they are : libenchant.dll (supplied as part of the VC9 build). and libglib-2.0.0.dll libgmodule-2.0.0.dll which come from http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/ AFAICT, you will need to compile these libraries yourself. See the quote from [1] below. "Getting Enchant You can get Enchant from AbiWord's SVN. Instructions for how to use AbiWord's anonsvn can be found here: http://www.abisource.com/developers. The module's name is "enchant". Alternately, you can download Enchant 1.5.0 [2] (May 23, 2009). Older versions are still available here [3]. You can browse the Enchant source online from: http://www.abisource.com/viewvc/enchant/trunk/. Enchant's public API can be found here. Enchant's provider plugin API can be found here. Enchant's C++ API can be found here." Regards, Richard Quadling.
