Description: As I have sometimes had to check spelling of a word or sentence outside of a text editor I had a look around for a GUI for aspell but surprisingly couldn't find one! So I wrote this simple front end for ASpell just launch it from the accessories menu and paste or type a word in the text box and either press 'Spell Check' to check and correct all words in the text box or select a single word and press 'Check Word' to just correct that one, that's all there is to it.
Please see the BUGS-ETC file for instructions on reporting bugs etc. Bugs reported on these boards or sent as PM's will be ignored.

0.0.2 Set text box to word wrap. Removed annoying flashing caused by building/destroying dialog. Code clean.
compiled on qt5 ()qt5widgets-5.2.1), clicking on "about"button just segfault ( core dumped)
Everything else works just fine...
Thanks for sharing your work.
I've already build as rpm and install it from rpm
https://abf.rosalinux.ru/build_lists/2260978
, but also test a raw install from tarball with the same exit.
Found a small bug in the makefile if you for instance use ./configure --enable-qt5, make
and then change the install prefix ie ./configure --enable-qt5 --prefix=/usr WITHOUT doing make clean before installing the program icon is not in the right place, so uninstall it ( if you installed it ) and then do
make clean
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-qt5
make
sudo make install
can you just tell me where should be ?
/path/icon-name
I can do this on my spec .
make clean won't affect the rpm build because
builddir and buildroot are 2 separate dirs, and the install it's done from buildroot.
Thanks again.

have you run sudo make install? if you run the app without installing it it wont be able to find the program icon.

pixmap is installed in $(DESTDIR)${prefix}/share/pixmaps ( see the Makefile in the app folder line 28 of Makefile.am.
Problem solved, with massive assistance from the developer, If we ever meet in this live , the beers are on me :D all my bad , and thanks again.
