How to: Aspell spellchecker installation
Windows OS:
Windows already comes with libaspell.dll and "data" directory, so Notecase Pro it will work "out of the box" here. If you want to use spellchecker,
you just need to install one or more dictionaries from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/aspell6-windows/
After installation, dictionary data should be copied under "dict" directory inside the directory where you installed Notecase Pro
Linux OS:
on Linux, use your package manager to install aspell package
Additionally you need to install aspell dictionary for the language you want to check (for example aspell-en package for English language)
Maemo:
You can find aspell packages for maemo at: http://ftp.gnuab.org/debian/pool-armel/main/a/aspell/
You can skip installing the "-dev" packages, so install both "aspell" and "libaspell" package.
Zaurus:
I couldn't find aspell package for zaurus, so I've had to compile it myself.
If you have gcc compiler installed, this should be easy:
- download sources from http://aspell.net/ (aspell-0.60.5.tar.gz) and unpack
- run "./configure", "make" and "make install"
- you can now delete source directory
- Installer version: just start the installer and follow its steps (recommended)
- Simple archive: just unpack .zip file into a direcrory of your choice. This requires separate GTK installation if you don't have GTK installed already
- Portable version: this is a version intended to be used from a memory stick media. It does not require GTK installation. Just unpack and use by starting "NoteCaseProLauncher.exe"
- Fedora and other .rpm based distros
To install notecase rpm for the first time type as root (note that rpm filename changes with each new version):
"rpm -ivh notecase_pro_1.6.4-1.fc7.i386.rpm"
If you already have older version or NoteCase installed, you should use update mode:
"rpm -Uvh notecase_pro_1.6.4-1.fc7.i386.rpm"
- Ubuntu and other .deb based distros
"dpkg -i notecase-pro_1.6.4_i386.deb"
- Sharp Zaurus (pdaxrpm) .ipk package
"ipkg install notecase-pro_1.6.4_armv5tel.ipk"
- Maemo platform (Nokia N800)
Install as any other .deb package
- OS X port is depdendent on GTK installation:
Register to install gcc compiler from http://connect.apple.com/ - download XCode from Development section (v2.5 in my case for Tiger)
Install macports from http://www.macports.org/
Install GTK (will take a while): sudo port install gtk2
If you want to install the .deb package for OS X, you need to install dpkg: sudo port install dpkg - NoteCase Pro itself can be installed either as .deb file using the Linux instructions from above, or as .dmg file by double-clicking it.
-
Register NoteCase app (having ".x11app" extension) to automatically start within the (required) X11 server:
Open "the notecase.x11app" file with Get Info in the Finder
Under "Open with:" select the X11 application
Select "Change All..." to set X11 as the default
