Installation of gspell

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
