Hey,
Does anyone know why spellcheck plugin won't configure against 0.20 (using latest plugins SVN and Debian 0.20 Geany)?
Was compiling against 0.19 ok, what dependency has changed, I can't see anything in README?
Can you copy in the output? Where it's failing?
Hi Frank,
Its failing the check for enchant >= 1.3
I had enchant 1.6 installed but not enchant-dev, with enchant-dev installed it passes.
But for some reason I don't understand 0.19 was working without the dev package?
I'm remembering there was something with gtkspell/enchant some time ago. Maybe a late impact of this. But this was a long, long time ago. Enrico might can tell more about here.
Cheers, Frank
Ok, since it is now working for me I'm just wanting to make sure that
I have no idea why you could compile the plugin without enchant-dev, it is required since 2008-06-19.
requiring the dev package is what is intended, to maybe add the need for the dev package to the README and check that the configure check
Let me quote from SpellCheck's README:
"Furthermore, you need to have installed enchant with its development files (libenchant-dev or enchant-devel)."

isn't still flaky so it doesn't cause confusion for others.
For testing, I changed the required enchant version to 1.9 in build/spellcheck.m4 to simulate that the library is missing and after re-running ./autogen.sh, configure said that the spell check plugin is not to be build. That seems correct to me. If not, I'm afraid Chow need to give it a look. The autotools magic in the g-p project is just scary to me :).
