spell-check plugin fails to build against gtkspell-3.0.0 release

[Pim Vullers]

When trying to build scratch and the spell-check plugin I run into errors. First I had to update the following line:

pkg_check_modules (SPELL REQUIRED "gtkspell-3.0")

to:

pkg_check_modules (SPELL REQUIRED "gtkspell3-3.0")

for pkg-config to find the 3.0.0 release of gtkspell. With this fix the configure succeeds and build starts, but fails with:

what is your libgtkspell version? It works on Luna.

Sorry, I must have missed your response, As mentioned at the beginning, I'm using gtkspell version 3.0.0.

I dropped gtkspell plugin. I can't see the point why a text editor should have spell checking, also, vala binding seems to not work properly.

I've re-opened this because it's a problem when compiling scratch on Fedora 19. I have exactly the same issue, pkg-config lists gtkspell3 as "gtkspell3-3.0" and if I make that change the CMakeLists.txt file I end up with the following:
