Details

using 1/19 build of mozilla on Mac and Linux (2000011910)

1) launch mozilla
2) launch editor
3) enter some text
4) click on spellcheck button

nothing happens. go into the components directory of the installation and you
won't see any spellchecker directory. there should be one.

This is for Mac and Linux only...Windows works fine.
If it's not part of installation on linux, it's not getting built. If it isn't
something we build, but is a drop in exe, it's going to not get delivered until
we have installers on unix. which i hear is coming RSN.

As far as the mac goes... it's possible the packages-mac file isn't including
the spellchecker stuff. Who owns spellchecker?
The spellchecker is being built on Linux. It builds automatically when I build
my ns tree, and it's also being built by the Tinderbox Linux builds ... I just
confirmed this by looking at the Tinderbox logs.

Does the Linux packaging script do a recursive copy of the bin/components
directory? If not, that could be the problem since the spellchecker lives at
bin/components/spellchecker.
Forgot to mention that I own the spellchecker, but sfraser@netscape.com helped
me out with getting it to build on the mac.

I just looked in the xpinstall/packager/packages-* files and the spellchecker is
listed in all of them.
I just grabbed 1/26 build of mozilla(M14 branch builds) for linux and Mac.

and there's still some packaging issue cause Spellchecker is still not working
on both platforms..

Windows is fine..

jj, please ensure that the spell checker is being properly picked up by the 
commercial build. It seems to be in the package file though.

Today's mac commercial build picked the SpellChecker files ok. According to bug 

6864, 3 files (SpellCheck.shlb + 2 diction.) should get installed under Netscape/

Components/SpellChecker. If you don't see them, let me know!



Also, the stuffit version of today's build, netscape5-mac.sea, contains these 

files in that same location. Did someone try to load the spell checker from using 

this flavor of the build? 


we should make sure that all the files are included in both netscape-* builds
and mozilla-* builds....

I don't always grab the installer builds for testing...
