Removing --disable-aspell explicitly adds a dependency to the aspell and friends, that means everyone using contrib/pidgin would have to install aspell. I guess we could patch configure to silently determine if dictionary support should be included or not. But this kind of decisions should be made by the user imho. @James we can't expect every user to maintain their own port versions (and effectively CRUX flavours), that's why we need sane defaults, and sane defaults doesn't mean "bare minimum". 2014-02-09 21:10 GMT+01:00 James Mills <prologic@shortcircuit.net.au>:
I'll say again.
prt-get edit pidgin ... remove --disable-aspell prt-get depinst aspell prt-get update -fr pidgin
This is not hard guys. CRUX is not meant to "hand hold" you through every step of the process :) If you wanted a distro that does that there's Ubuntu, Arch, etc, etc :)
IHMO Ports have always been (unwritten rule?) the bare minimum for the functionality the software represents.

pidgin port has --disable-aspell so it wont work without modifying this port

Can't you just install aspell/ispell and rebuild pidgin like I've done so many times?
No need to haul in another dependency :)

Hi,
I would like to know if any contrib/pidgin users would like to have aspell support. It would add aspell and friends to the list of dependencies.

I've manually removed that --disable-aspell line and recompiled. it be nice if the code was patched to be enabled if found or disabled if aspell was not found.
