(Note that it's MacOSX10.5.sdk -- with no "u" after the 5.) I haven't succeeded in getting Qt-4.6 to build, so I've switched to the precompiled version Nokia provides. (But see other thread: I can't get autotools to recognize it; that's partly why I've switched to cmake.) >>> I have to investigate my options further... but I'm a little bit short of >>> disk space. >>> That's why I removed the macports Qt4 already. >>> >>> Bennett, what did you try to cross-compile with cmake?

And we must support aspell for those who install it separately. As I've noted in other e-mails, I think it's very desirable to provide spelling and thesaurus support built in. For spelling, the preferred way to go is to provide enchant hooks to the native spellchecker. For thesaurus we'd need to provide some way to access relevant dictionaries. I don't know how to do either of these. BH
