Re: [Aspell-user] [ASPELL] Problema con el makefile del diccionario 0.5

[Vincent Belaïche]

Sorry for writing in Spanish. In fact I was writing primarilly to the 
dictionary maintainer, and just CC to the aspell user list. I was not aware 
that this makefile was created by some common script. 

I must apologize, MSYS GNU Make works fine with obsolete rule syntax, the 
reason why it did not work was other (my configuration was such that the 
configure script could find aspell, but not word-list-compress).

Probably the only needed correction to make is that configure should be more 
robust to this case to warn the user. Attached is a fix proprosal.

VBR,
   Vincent.
