using speck for spell checking

using speck for spell checking

[Alain Muls]

Hi

I just found the speck.el file and read a basic summary about what it can do. 
Since I wanted to try it out I downloaded the speck.el and speck.texi file. 
Installing speck.el worked, however, I cannot compile the documentation and 
googling does not help me any further.

Is someone using speck and can you point me to documentation about it?

Tx/Alain

Please be more specific. What kind of error does

makeinfo speck.texi

produce?

In my computer, this is the error that one finds:

/home/canti/docs/downloads/speck//speck.texi:642: Cross reference to
nonexistent Interface' (perhaps incorrect sectioning?).
/home/canti/docs/downloads/speck//speck.texi:158: Cross reference to
nonexistent Interface' (perhaps incorrect sectioning?).
/home/canti/docs/downloads/speck//speck.texi:130: Cross reference to
nonexistent Interface' (perhaps incorrect sectioning?).
makeinfo: Removing output file `/home/canti/docs/downloads/speck/
speck' due to errors; use --force to preserve.

I cannot reproduce this:

 --> wget --quiet http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/download/speck.texi.gz
 --> gunzip speck.texi.gz 
 --> makeinfo speck.texi 
 --> makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.11
[...]

You either have a corrupt texi file or some old makeinfo version.

In any case, as your makeinfo output above says, you can use '--force'
to preserve the info file even with the above errors; only some of the
cross references will not work.

Yes.  Thank you.  It seems that the .texi file that I was using was
corrupt.  I tried it downloading it from the page you suggested and it
worked without any complaint.

However, I was wondering if you could answer me one more question.
How can I make the file created with the makeinfo integrate with all
of the info files that appear under my emacs.  When I type M-h i, all
the tree of info files appear, but I do not seem to find the speck
node (I'm sorry if it is a silly question but I had never before
compiled a texinfo file).

Santiago.

See my post to this list/newsgroup a week ago:

Worked like a charm.  Thanks a lot.
