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