HOWTO

# gnome-spell 1.0.7
# =================
# Slackware doesn't appear to have a package for this (8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0,
# or 10.1), and Slackware 10.2 and up doesn't include Gnome at all.

# Prerequisites:
# perl
# grep
# sed
# gettext
# aspell
# pkg-config
# libgnomeui-2.0 >= 1.112.1
# libbonoboui-2.0 >= 1.112.1
# libglade-2.0 >= 1.99.9

cd
test -f installed/gnome-spell-1.0.7.tar.bz2 &&
mv installed/gnome-spell-1.0.7.tar.bz2 .
test ! -f gnome-spell-1.0.7.tar.bz2 &&
wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-spell/1.0/\

## If make fails with an error like this:
# /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
# cannot find -lssl
## re-run it like this:
# make LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib

make

# Become root to install it
su

make install

# I live in the US and only read/write English (well), so I don't need these
find /usr/share/locale -type f -name "gnome-spell-*.mo" -exec rm {} \;

# Become yourself again
exit

cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/gnome-spell-*.tar.*
mv gnome-spell-1.0.7.tar.bz2 installed/

# If you ever want to uninstall gnome-spell, this should do it:
cd
su
test -d src/gnome-spell-* && ( cd src/gnome-spell-* ; make uninstall )
test -d /usr/lib/gnome-spell && rm -r /usr/lib/gnome-spell
find /usr/share/locale -type f -name "gnome-spell-*.mo" -exec rm {} \;
find /usr/share -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "gnome-spell-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
