What are you installing the library for? Is it to use in a project of yours?

#

yes

Ok, you can either try to compile the library yourself, or find compiled binaries for your platform
The compiler has to match, and you should be looking for includes (.h) as well as libs (.lib)

#

Sometimes there are no compiled binaries available

#

debug/release needs to match also

#

their respective ABIs are not guaranteed compatible

#

and sadly most binary downloads are release only, so you probably need to compile yourself

#

https://conan.io can help with that, and conan appears to have hunspell https://conan.io/center/hunspell
