[R-pkg-devel] Spell Check with Hunspell on Windows

[Kevin R. Coombes]

Hi,

This is a follow-up to an earlier question where I asked about R CMD 
check on Windows to be able to check R packages in a manner closer to 
the checks on CRAN machines before i submit (new or updated) packages.  
 From the answers to the previous question, I learned the (magic) 
environment variable to set in order to trigger spell checks.

So, I then managed to install "hunspell" n my Windows machine. I have 
confirmed that hunspell works

  * from the command line
  * inside emacs
  * inside R when running the "aspell" (or "hunspell") command to check
    files. (Note that I do not need to set  the "program" argument to
    aspell in order for this to work.)

However, when I run R CMD check from the command line, I get the message:
     ''No suitable spell-checker program found."

Is there some other environment variable or command line option that I 
have to set in order to get R CMD check to use "hunspell" instead of 
"aspell" or "ispell"?

Thanks,
   Kevin
