I am having trouble making a British version of ispell, using isp3120s
(Ispell 3.1.20 sources for DJGPP 2.x) under Windows 98. I would be
grateful for advice from someone who has managed to do this, or a similar
build.
I have installed all the packages on which the build depends. I have been
trying to follow the instructions in "gnu\ispell-3.120\pc\readme".
There seem to be two problems when I type "make". They crop up after a
couple of minutes or so (on slow Pentium hardware).
I think the root of the problem might be an incorrect value for LANGUAGES.
Here is what I have changed the relevant line of "pc\local.djgpp" to:
#define LANGUAGES "{british,MASTERDICTS=britmed,HASHFILES=britmed.hash}
{american}"
(Note: this is all on one line in the file.) The idea was to have a
medium-sized British dictionary by default, with the possibility of using
an American dictionary as well.
I tried some other setting first, the details of which I forget. It failed
in the same way. I changed it to the above, typed "make clean",
"pc\configdj", then "make" again.
Here is the first problem:
iwhich: sed: command not found
iwhich: false: command not found
iwhich: sed: command not found
iwhich: false: command not found
("sed" and "false" are actually installed.) Then, almost immediately, the
build fails as follows:
make.exe[3]: Entering directory
`c:/Local/djgpp/gnu/ispell-3.120/languages/british'
make.exe[3]: *** No rule to make target `britmed'. Stop.
make.exe[3]: Leaving directory
`c:/Local/djgpp/gnu/ispell-3.120/languages/british'
make.exe[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make.exe[2]: Leaving directory
`c:/Local/djgpp/gnu/ispell-3.120/languages/british'
+ exit 1
+ exit 1
make.exe[1]: *** [language-subdirs] Error 1
make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `c:/Local/djgpp/gnu/ispell-3.120'
make.exe: *** [all-languages] Error 2
All advice appreciated. Thank you.
Daniel Barker.
