#45 Compiling 2.x with spell checking - broken
I'm attempting to build the current development version
on Fedora Core 1.
The configure options to enable spell checking appear
to be completely broken :-(
The README says:
GnomeSword will use ispell, aspell or pspell for spell
checking
The INSTALL file says:
GnomeSword will try to locate pspell and if it finds it
build GnomeSword
with pspell.
If you want to use ispell you must run configure with
--enable-use_ispell. GnomeSword will try to locate
ispell and
if it is foung GnomeSword will be built with ispell
support.
If you want to use aspell you must run configure with
--enable-use_aspell. GnomeSword will try to locate
aspell and
if it is foung GnomeSword will be built with aspell support
Fedora Core 1 comes with aspell. I have aspell-devel
installed. I have the file pspell-config.
Looking at configure.in...
- there are no --enable-use_Xspell options (?)
- the configure script will check for
pspell-compat-config, which doesn't exist on my system.
I patched the configure.in script to look for
pspell-config and link against pspell and aspell (both
provided by the aspell packages on FC1), and re-ran
autoconf. This enabled me to configure to enable
spellchecking.
