Source Verson: 0.06 Source URL: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/remi.vanicat/aspell/ This is the Aspell word list for French. If Aspell is installed and aspell and word-list-compress are all in the path first do a: ./configure Which should output something like: Finding Dictionary file location ... /usr/local/lib/aspell Finding Data file location ... /usr/local/share/aspell if it did not something likely went wrong. After that build the package with: make and then install it with make install If any of the above mentioned programs are not in your path than the variables, ASPELL and/or WORD_LIST_COMPRESS need to be set to the commands (with path) to run the utilities. These variables may be set in the environment before configure is run or specified at the command line using the following syntax ./configure --vars VAR1=VAL1 ... Other useful variables configure recognizes are ASPELL_PARMS, and DESTDIR. To clean up after the build: make clean To uninstall the files: make uninstall After the word lists are installed you can use the main one (fr) by setting the LANG environmental variable to fr or running Aspell with --lang=fr. You may also chose the dictionary directly with the -d or --master option of Aspell. You can chose from any of the following dictionaries: fr_CH-40 (fr_CH-sml suisse-40 suisse-sml) fr_CH-60 (fr_CH fr_CH-med suisse suisse-60 suisse-med) fr_CH-80 (fr_CH-lrg suisse-80 suisse-lrg) fr_FR-40 (fr-40 fr-sml fr_FR-sml francais-40 francais-sml french-40 french-sml) fr_FR-60 (fr fr-60 fr-med fr_FR fr_FR-med francais francais-60 francais-med french french-60 french-med) fr_FR-80 (fr-80 fr-lrg fr_FR-lrg francais-80 francais-lrg french-80 french-lrg) Whereas the names in parentheses are alternate names for the dictionary preceding the parentheses. If you have any problem with installing or using the word lists please let me (Kevin Atkinson) know. If you have problems with the actual word lists please contact one of the Word lists authors as I do not maintain the actual Word Lists. Any additional documentation that came with the original word list can be found in the doc/ directory.
