Spell check, Dictionary creation

(1) Bug: There are only 7 public dictionaries for Amaya [1]. But there
are no Norwegian or Russian dictionaries, for example. As a workaround,
I would like to create a personal dictionary - or "source dictionary" -
according to the rules Irene described in a previous message [2] and
then to just rely on the personal dictionary. I would use an ispell or
OpenOffice dictionary as basis.
However, the personal dictionary only works together with the 7 public
dictionaries, it seems. So if I have <body xml:lang="no">, then Amaya
does not use the personal dictionary. So this workaround is actually
closed, it seems. (I could fake and use xml:lang="en", I guess ... but
that seems meaningless.)
Could this be changed so that the personal dictionary works with any
language? Or, at the very best, I would like to be able to create
(personal) dictionaries that are language specific.
(2) How to create a compiled dictionary?
Based on the mentioned message from Irene [2], I downloaded the
"extenddic.tgz" package[3], and unpacked it. I understood that the
included compiler needed some extra include files, and so I also
downloaded the full source of Amaya 11.2, and dropped the content of the
extenddic package (the files "traiter.c" et al.) into the folder
"amaya-fullsrc-11.2/Amaya/thotlib/internals/h", as this seemed to be
where the include files was located - I have no clue where else to put
them.
Then I ran
./compiler
from the commandline. Only to get a lot of error messages about other
lacking files as well. I located those files and placed a copy in the
same folder, only to get other error messages (such as
«/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/include/varargs.h:4:2: error:
#error "GCC no longer implements <varargs.h>."» and «appstruct.h:22:
error: syntax error before ‘Proc’»
Perhaps there is a more complete (and perhaps updated) explanation of
how to create a dictionary? (I noticed that the "extenddic" package is
from March 2000.) The basic info I need is a) where to place the
'extenddic' files and b) the syntax of the command line command ...
If not, is there any way I could send a raw dictionary (and the personal
dictionary is one such example, I think) to someone so they can compile
and include the dictionary in Amaya?
