aspell: Generic Install Instructions

1 E.1 Generic Install Instructions
1 ================================
1
1 ./configure && make
1
1 For additional `configure' options type `./configure --help'. You
1 can control what C++ compiler is used by setting the environment
1 variable `CXX' before running configure and you can control what flags
1 are passed to the C++ compile via the environment variable `CXXFLAGS'.
1 Static libraries are disabled by default since static libraries will
1 not work right due to the mixing of C and C++. When a C program links
1 with the static libraries in Aspell it is likely to crash because
1 Aspell's C++ objects are not getting initialized correctly. However,
1 if for some reason you want them, you can enable them via
1 `--enable-static'.
1
1 Aspell should then compile without any additional user intervention.
1 If you run into problems please first check the sections below as that
1 might solve your problem.
1
1 To install the program simply type
1
1 make install
1
1 After Aspell is installed at least one dictionary needs to be
1 installed. You can find them at `http://aspell.net/'. The `aspell'
1 program must be in your path in order for the dictionaries to install
1 correctly.
1
1 If you do not have Ispell or the traditional Unix `spell' utility
1 installed on your system then you should also copy the compatibility
1 scripts `ispell' and `spell' located in the `scripts/' directory into
1 your binary directory which is usually `/usr/local/bin' so that
1 programs that expect the `ispell' or `spell' command will work
1 correctly.
