Install gspell by running the following commands:
mkdir gspell-build && cd gspell-build && meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -D gtk_doc=false .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. The tests must be run in an X session. One test, test-checker, is known to fail if the external package Hunspell is not installed.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
-D gtk_doc=false: Prevents
building the documentation. Remove this if you have GTK-Doc installed and wish to build the
documentation.
