Install enchant by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-static \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/enchant-2.8.2 &&
make
To run tests, unittest-cpp must be installed and the --enable-relocatable option passed to configure
above. If these conditions are present, the tests may be run with
make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
You can test your installation and configuration by creating a test file and running the following commands (you can replace the en_GB dictionary by any other downloaded when installing Aspell-0.60.8.1):
cat > /tmp/test-enchant.txt << "EOF"
