I am trying to install focuswriter on ubuntu 16.04 using source code. So after opeing terminal in the focuswriter folder I enter qmake but then this error appears - 'Project ERROR - Package hunspell not found'. I already have hunspell installed.

  • Maybe you are after `libhunspell-dev`? Perhaps give a bit more detail into your compiling process: the steps you have already undertaken... – andrew.46 Dec 20 '16 at 09:21

You already have hunspell installed which gives applications the ability to use it, but you may not have libhunspell-dev which provides the source code needed to compile programs that use it.

You may be able to get all the packages you need using:

sudo apt-get build-dep focuswriter

Then you can proceed to recompile.
