[Catonano]

I believe it's worthwhile to make this known to the guix reviewers community
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/aspell-devel/2017-03/msg00003.html

Hope this helps

Ciao ! :-)

Just for reference, for when we solve the dictionary issue:

While experimenting with this package and (unsuccessfully) trying to get
it to find aspell dictionaries, I also noticed we could add the
following native inputs:

+       ("docbook-xsl" ,docbook-xsl)
+       ("gobject-introspection" ,gobject-introspection)
+       ("gtk-doc" ,gtk-doc)
+       ("vala" ,vala)
        ("glib" ,glib "bin")
        ("pkg-config" ,pkg-config)
        ("xmllint" ,libxml2)
        ("xorg-server" ,xorg-server)))

and the following configure flag to build docs:

+       #:configure-flags '("--enable-gtk-doc")

I'm not really familiar with the gobject system, but I suppose
generating the bindings is useful? :)
