I just took a look and if I do "cmake -DLYX_USE_QT=QT5" I see -- Could NOT find ASPELL (missing: ASPELL_LIBRARY ASPELL_INCLUDE_DIR) -- ASPELL not found, building without ASPELL support -- Found ENCHANT: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libenchant.so -- Building with USE_ENCHANT -- Found HUNSPELL: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhunspell.so -- Building with USE_HUNSPELL but then at the end where it lists the flags I see -- LYX_ASPELL = OFF : Require aspell -- LYX_ENCHANT = OFF : Require Enchant -- LYX_HUNSPELL = OFF : Require Hunspell But then when I open LyX it seems they are enabled. Ah, now I see where I misunderstood. The flags just show what I set (and what was default), not what actually happened. Scott
