You don't have to compile hunspell, but LyX must be compiled with hunspell
support enabled (or, for that matter, hunspell support, which is enabled by
default, can be disabled at compile time).
If hunspell is enabled, LyX will check if the hunspell libraries are there,
and if so, hunspell support will be enabled. This is the job of your
package manager, if you use a binary.

If you compile LyX yourself, assure hunspell-devel is installed.

LyX supports aspell, enchant, and hunspell. You can switch the engines in
preferences (if the respective engine is supported on your box).
