Description Vitaly Kushneriuk 2002-01-23 05:21:39 UTC

As I understand evo needs gnome-speller.
The latest version of gnome speller, needs masked version of pspell,
I tried to build it anyway, but it failed, so I left it atm.

I'll take this azarah if you have no objections.  I have been working on it
anyway :)

Current status:

Updated pspell ebuilds
stuck on aspell build failure (seems to be an upstream problem)

Once I get aspell working, gnome-spell is trivial

Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen 2002-03-14 22:25:36 UTC

I am about to check if this works, because bug #892 regarding the aspell issue
has been resolved.

I added gnome-spell, and updated some spell stuff.  Evo now works with spell
checking .. have a look at:

I emerge'd gnome-spell, restarted Evolution ... now I have spell checking :)

Thanks guys!
