Hello, I'm new to Aspell. I'm looking for a dictionary SDK that can be used in my own application.

I'm writing an application for Mac OSX and I need to create a dylib from Aspell. I read the documentation which stated:

> Static libraries are disabled by default since static libraries will not work right due to the mixing of C and C++.  When a C program links with the static libraries in Aspell it is likely to crash because Aspell's C++ objects are not getting initialized correctly.  However, if for some reason you want them, you can enable them via `--enable-static'.

Using a static library is the only option I have because I would like to compile for iOS devices also. My program will be written in Objective-C with mixed C++. I assume I will not suffer from the warning in this message?

I tried the command:

> ./configure --enable-static
> make

.. but I couldn't find a dylib afterwards.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
