it was me who removed the dependency on hunspell there. By reading the sources (I don't have a MacOS, and never will) in trunk/main/lingucomponent/source/spellcheck/macosxspell/ that code has no dependency at all in libhunspell. The dependency on hunspell was spread all over the components there, sure a bug of copy-and-pasting the makefiles. So you should be able to build the MacOSXSpell component without hunspell enabled, and spell checking should work with only this component installed. Otherwise, its a bug (I tested the changes both on Linux and WinXP and the three components can be build and installed independently form each other; the same should work in MacOS). > There was still a dependency to some types defined in Hunspell. I > tried to fix that and was able to build... that's quite strange. Do you have the logs? Was it a clean build? The dependency on hunspell should now be only limited to trunk/main/lingucomponent/source/spellcheck/spell/ that is the only UNO component that interfaces with libhunspell. All the other code in lingusitic and lingucomponent should work out fo the box without hunspell. > But it seems that spellchecking doesn't work, for spell checking to work you need the dictionaries (I have no idea what kind of dictionaries supports MacOS), but without dictionaries installed the UNO component are not even listed in Tools - Options - Linguistic - Writing Aids > and also redlining doesn't work.

AFAIK it should, just look at the sources, macspellimp.hxx and macspellimp.cxx have no reference to hunpsell (the references I removed - look at the log - where there just because of a copy-and-paste error from the hunspell spell checker; the same is valid for the makefile.mk).
