Heyla, I downloaded aspell-0.60.1 and tried to configure and build it on a Solaris 5.8 system here at work.
1. The first problem I noticed was that I cannot build outside of the source tree. ../../src/aspell-0.60.1/configure <opts> yields the following: cd gen; perl mk-dirs_h.pl /u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8 /u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/lib/aspell-0.60 /u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/lib/aspell-0.60 /u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/etc > dirs.h Can't open perl script "mk-dirs_h.pl": No such file or directory. Use -S to search $PATH for it. make[1]: *** [gen/dirs.h] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/build/aspell-0.60.1' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 2. Since I need to support building on multiple platforms, I solved that problem by creating a tree of symlinks and I then discovered my second problem; it appears I cannot build on this platform if I've configured --disable-nls: if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/build/aspell-0.60.1 -I./gen -I/u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/build/aspell-0.60.1/gen -I/u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/build/aspell-0.60.1/common -I/u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/build/aspell-0.60.1/interfaces/cc/ -I/u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/build/aspell-0.60.1/modules/speller/default/ -DLOCALEDIR=\"/u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/share/locale\" -g -O2 -fno-exceptions -MT prog/check_funs.o -MD -MP -MF "$depbase.Tpo" -c -o prog/check_funs.o prog/check_funs.cpp; \ then mv -f "$depbase.Tpo" "$depbase.Po"; else rm -f "$depbase.Tpo"; exit 1; fi prog/check_funs.cpp: In function `void get_line(acommon::String&)': prog/check_funs.cpp:334: error: `wget_wch' undeclared (first use this function) prog/check_funs.cpp:334: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) prog/check_funs.cpp:348: error: `KEY_CODE_YES' undeclared (first use this function) prog/check_funs.cpp:370: error: `wins_nwstr' undeclared (first use this function) prog/check_funs.cpp:382: error: `cchar_t' undeclared (first use this function) prog/check_funs.cpp:382: error: expected `;' before "cc" prog/check_funs.cpp:383: error: `attr_t' undeclared (first use this function) prog/check_funs.cpp:383: error: expected `;' before "att" prog/check_funs.cpp:385: error: `cc' undeclared (first use this function) prog/check_funs.cpp:385: error: `mvwin_wch' undeclared (first use this function) prog/check_funs.cpp:386: error: `att' undeclared (first use this function) prog/check_funs.cpp:386: error: `getcchar' undeclared (first use this function) make[1]: *** [prog/check_funs.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/u/sheltonv/software/SunOS-5.8/build/aspell-0.60.1' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 3. Finally, a minor nit: I was looking for a place to send this bug report, and I couldn't find an email address listed in the README file. I got this email address from the http://aspell.net homepage - I hope it's correct. Thanks for aspell. I appreciate it and use it frequently.
