GNUAspell/aspell

Unknown mode: "tex"

Closed this issue · 1 comments

For some reason when I build aspell the resulting binary will not use the tex filter.

The build procedure I follow:

$ ./autogen
$ ./config-debug
$ cd build
$ make

Then the interesting behavior

$ ./aspell filters
context        experimental filter for hiding delimited contexts
tex            filter for dealing with TeX/LaTeX documents
texinfo        filter for dealing with Texinfo documents
html           filter for dealing with HTML documents
nroff          filter for dealing with Nroff documents
markdown       filter for Markdown/CommonMark documents
url            filter to skip URL like constructs
email          filter for skipping quoted text in email messages
sgml           filter for dealing with generic SGML/XML documents

$ ./aspell -t check file.tex
Error: Unknown mode: "tex".

Is there some step I'm missing to enable tex mode?

It seems that yest I was missing a step. make install is required to get everything to hook up right.
