Currently, the Hunspell spell-checker implementation is built on Linux and Windows, but not on OSX. On Windows, users can choose to use Hunspell at runtime by setting the
SPELLCHECKER_PREFER_HUNSPELLenvironment variable.Now, when installing the library on Mac, you can choose to compile it with Hunspell support by running this:
If you do that, then you can choose Hunspell at runtime via the environment variable, similar to the windows version.
I chose not to include hunspell in the binary by default, since most Mac users won't need it, and it lengthens the build time and the binary size. I just needed so I could work on the Hunspell implementation on my Mac.
