<p><b>New page</b></p><div>=== Enabling Aspell under Mac OS XCompiling===<br />
<br />
====The following steps apply to:====<br />
* [[MacOS]] 10.3 and higher<br />
* Fink 0.17.0 and higher<br />
* Fink rsync (recommanded) or Fink cvs<br />
* gcc 3.3<br />
<br />
As of version 1.0.5 of bluefish, those steps are no more necessary.<br />
Just install aspell from fink and the desired dictionaries.<br />
<br />
====Steps to perform:====<br />
1. Installing aspell version 0.5.4:<br><br />
<br />
Get aspell from http://aspell.sourceforge.net/ (avoid Safari, since it discards the gz part of the file)<br><br />
<br />
Copy the source file into /sw/src:<br><br />
<code>sudo cp thedirectorywhereyoudownloadaspell/aspell-0.50.4.1.tar.gz /sw/src/</code><br />
<br />
Calculate the md5 sum:<br><br />
<code>md5 /sw/src/aspell-0.50.4.1.tar.gz</code><br />
<br />
Create a local directory if it does not exist:<br><br />
<code>sudo mkdir -p /sw/fink/10.3/local/main/finkinfo/</code><br><br />
<br />
Copy the info file into local directory:<br><br />
<code>sudo cp /sw/fink/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/text/aspell.info /sw/fink/10.3/local/main/finkinfo/</code><br><br />
<br />
Change the info file:<br><br />
<code>sudo pico /sw/fink/10.3/local/main/finkinfo/aspell.info</code><br><br />
<br />
The following lines should be:<br><br />
<code>Version: 0.50.4.1</code><br><br />
<code>Revision: 11</code><br><br />
<code>Source-MD5: the sum you've computed previously</code><br><br />
<code>~[[CompileScript]]: (./configure %c; make)</code><br><br />
<br />
Remove <code>--disabled-shared</code> from the ~[[ConfigureParams]] line<br><br />
<br />
Add the following lines after ~[[InstallScript]] (use tab to indent the lines):<br><br />
<verbatim><br />
[[SplitOff]]: <<<br />
Package: %N-shlibs<br />
Files: lib/lib'''spell'''.dylib<br />
Shlibs: %p/lib/lib*spell.15.0.2.dylib 7.0.0 %n (>= 0.50.4.1-1)<br />
[[DocFiles]]: COPYING* README<br />
<<<br />
[[SplitOff]]2: <<<br />
Package: %N-dev<br />
Depends: %N (>= %v-%r)<br />
[[BuildDependsOnly]]: True<br />
Files: include lib/lib'''spell.'''<br />
[[DocFiles]]: COPYING* README<br />
<<<br />
</verbatim><br />
<br />
Install aspell with:<br><br />
<code>fink install aspell</code><br />
<br />
Install aspell-dev and aspell-shlibs with:<br><br />
<code>fink install aspell-dev aspell-shlibs</code><br />
<br />
Install the dictionary you want with (here German one):<br><br />
<code>fink install aspell-de</code><br />
<br />
2. Installing bluefish version 0.12:<br><br />
<br />
Download the tarball from [http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/download.html], section Development Snapshots.<br><br />
<br />
Copy it to /sw/src:<br><br />
<code>sudo cp thedirectorywhereyoudownloadthetarball/nameofthetarball /sw/src/</code><br />
<br />
Copy Fink's bluefish.info and Fink's bluefish.patch files to your local tree with:<br><br />
<code>sudo cp /sw/fink/10.1-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/bluefish.* /sw/fink/10.2/local/main/finkinfo/</code><br />
<br />
Compute the MD5 checksum for the snapshot with:<br><br />
<code>md5 /sw/src/nameofthebluefishtarball</code><br />
<br />
Edit the info file with:<br><br />
<code>sudo pico /sw/fink/10.3/local/main/finkinfo/bluefish.info</code><br />
<br />
The following lines should be:<br><br />
<code>Version: 0.12</code><br><br />
<code>Revision: 12</code><br><br />
<br />
Change aspell to aspell-dev in the [[BuildDepends]] line.<br><br />
<br />
Change the patch file as follows:<br><br />
<verbatim><br />
