Yes, I think it's the best to do. There's a dummy pspell library created with the new aspell. It doesn't work for me though - should be a libtool problem - that explains the triple link tests in config.m4. > Should we make aspell extension work with both old and new aspell's > (that's gonna be a lot of #ifdef's)?

Rename --with-spell and use --enable-spell-newaspell and --enable-spell-pspell? Sort of like the xslt extenstion. Should make the config.m4 file a lot easier to maintain also. For BC then map: --with-pspell to --with-spell --enable-spell-pspell and issue a warning. >I'm just curious if I can get any useful feedback on what it would make >sense to do. > >Thanks, > >Vlad > > > > >Melvyn Sopacua wrote: > >>Hi, >> >>I modified the above mentioned file, to allow the configuration with >>"The new Aspell" current cvs. >> >>Symbol HAVE_NEW_ASPELL is being defined, but currently unused. >> >>Initial tests on my system shows main functions working.
