This is probably because you are not using the Netscape Commercial build. Kin: Please describe how to do that for Mac and Linux -- is this information posted anywhere?
If you are using a commercial build, you should see a directory called spellchecker: <executable dir>/components/spellchecker If this directory is missing or there is no spellchecker library/dll in that directory, then the spellchecker will not startup.
okay I don't see a spellcheck directory in my executable directory So now what? how do I get a commercial build? Kin, when you get a chance, pop on over and check out my build to see whats wrong with the builds I'm grabbing and installing.
I don't think there is a Commercial Linux build yet, So they might be placing regular Mozilla builds in the dist directories for QA.

This isn't a real bug - just a reminder to make sure it can run Chris: have you installed the needed DLLs to test this on Mac and Linux?

Accepting bug.

This is not an M8 blocker. Changing to M9. Update: There is now a Linux Commercial build, but it looks like it only works if you have a pre-installed nspr RPM or seperate NSPR build.

Moving all spellchecker/text services related bugs to M11 since I will still be working on AutoComplete features through M10.
Comment 16•25 years ago

Moving to M12.

can we add the dependency for a Mac commercial build to the dependency list above?
Comment 18•25 years ago
|
||
I checked in the makefiles so that we can build on Linux. I just need to add the modules directory and modules/Makefile to Makefile.in and allmakefiles.sh.
Comment 19•25 years ago

I just enabled the spellchecker in the Linux Commercial build. Passing this bug onto sfraser@netscape.com so he can help me turn on the building of the modules/spellchk directory on the Mac.

I fixed the location of the dictionary files (netscape.dic & pen4s324.dat) in ns/build/mac/CommercialBuildList.pm Marking fixed eventhough I'm not sure this is the only problem. Feel free to reopen if Monday (11/29) build is still broken.
Comment 22•25 years ago

by the way, why is this bug in bugzilla instead of bugsplat (internal) ?
Comment 23•25 years ago

Simon, just to make sure this is not an install issue: today's build has the 3 required files (SpellCheck.shlb, netscape.dic and pen4s324.dat) installed under Components/SpellCheck/ If any other file is required for SpellChecker to work, it should be added to the build script (ns/build/mac/CommercialBuildList.pm) AND the installer manifest file (ns/xpinstall/packager/packages-mac)

Kin, let me know when you want me to check this out in new Mac/Linux builds..
Comment 29•25 years ago

still a problem on 1/20 build.
Comment 30•25 years ago

I can't believe this, I'm actually going to get to mark a bug WORKSFORME... ok, not on mac, but Linux at least. I'm running the linux build off of sweetlou, BuildID 2000012008, and i can run spellchecker successfully on a composer window.
Comment 31•25 years ago

sujay, I also played with today's build on all platform, and here's a quick recap: - both Windows and Linux manage to load the spellchecker ok from Components/ Spellchecker/ where the dll is - Mac doesn't do anything with the analog configuration. However, if I move the dll and the dictionary one level up (inside 'Components' instead of 'Components/ SpellCheck', then it works fine. This could be an XPCOM issue where components wouldn't get registered on Mac if they're nested inside sub directories under Components... cc'ing dp for his input on this.
Comment 32•25 years ago
|
||
I'll try it out on today's builds...I hope you're all right!
Comment 33•25 years ago
|
||
okay I see it working on Linux and Windows!! now lets work on Mac... lets still keep this bug open unitl we fix Mac.
Comment 34•25 years ago
|
||
Nice observation jj. We have never tested subdirs under component directory. This is probably the first one. Simon, I can help you figure this out.
Comment 35•25 years ago
|
||
This turns out to be a simple problem with the naming of the spellchecker directory inside components. I'm checking in build script and packaging file changes to rename this dir from "SpellCheck" to "SpellChecker". That fixes the problem on Mac.

adding leaf to Cc: list... guys we need to make sure all the necessary files are packaged for not only netscape-* builds but also mozilla -* builds.. QA doesn't always use the netscape-* builds...
Comment 41•25 years ago
|

okay will check using netscape-* builds on Linux and Mac....it should work... will add comments...

I grabbed Mac M14 1/26 build and its still not working JJ....
Comment 43•25 years ago
|

ok, spellchecker is no longer working for me on linux; i get a console javascript error: ``JavaScript Error: ReferenceError: Spelling is not defined'' This is new, as i was able to spellcheck when this bug was first filed.
Comment 44•25 years ago

After nsIFile landed, kin notices that directory enumeration didn't work in the components directory. Spell checker get affected because it is installed in components/spellchecker as opposed to components/ This is a regreassion that dougt knows about and is working feverishly to fixing.

dp: using yesterday's Mac build, I actually tried to move spellcheck.shlb + dictionaries one level up (under Components instead of Components/SpellChecker) and it still didn't work...
