[aspell-user] Re: Bug#122266: aspell doesn't build from source

[Domenico Andreoli]

hi kevin!

i have a problem. the following bug report has been filled against
aspell debian package. please visit <http://bugs.debian.org/122266>.

looking at the build logs it seems that m4 has been used somewhere.
this is not a problem, only i have to know it is needed so i can put
it in packages required for building.

please confirm whether m4 is required or not for building and whether
it may be used by aspell during normal operation.

thanks
