This program aims to provide an easy way of viewing translation and other kinds

of dictionaries in your terminal. The author wasn't successful in finding any

free dictionary software of this type, GUI or not, and thus decided to write his

own.

While I've been successfully using sdtui for a long time now, some work has to
|
|
|
|
|
be done yet before the software can be considered fit for inclusion in regular
|
|
|
|
|
Linux and/or BSD distributions. Help is much appreciated.

|
An approximate list of things that need to be resolved:
|
|
|
|
|
- rewrite the frontend using a proper TUI framework
|
|
|
|
|
- load a list of installed dictionaries at startup (use the default locations
|
|
|
|
|
used by StarDict) and let the user choose which dictionary to open
|
|
|
|
|
- figure out a way to become capable of displaying most dictionaries

To install the application, you can do either the usual:
|
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
|
|
|
|
|
$ cpack -G DEB
|
|
|
