(add the call to it will break some asserts, is it designed to be so?) And there is no C API to read the settings. I think the question is which should configure the dict locations, aspell library or enchant? If aspell, then maybe add 'new_aspell_config_with_settings' is a quick way. But a single variable like ASPELL_CONF is not good as addable variable ASPELL_DICT_DIRS (like PATH), which user can set it at multiple places, eg: system-level (/etc/profile) and user-level (~/.profile). If enchant, I don't know.. so CC to the abiword-dev. _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
