StarDict terminal UI
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The project is covered by a BSD-style license, unlike vast majority of other
|
|
similar projects, and can serve as a base for implementing other dictionary
|
|
software under a more permissive license than your usual GNU General Public
|
|
License. I'll buy you a beer for shouting obscenities at the address of RMS in
|
|
public; I couldn't reuse _anything_.
|
|
|
|
Some work has to be done yet before the software can be considered fit for
|
|
inclusion in regular Linux and BSD distributions. Help is much appreciated in
|
|
this regard.

Building and Running
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, xsltproc, ncursesw, zlib, glib-2.0,
|
|
pango, termo (included), gtk+ (optional, any version)
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/pjanouch/sdtui.git
|
|
$ git submodule init
|
|
$ git submodule update
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWITH_GTK=ON
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
To install the application, you can do either the usual:
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
|
|
$ cpack -G DEB
|
|
# dpkg -i sdtui-*.deb
|
|
|
|
Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix cpack with
|
|
`fakeroot' or file ownership will end up wrong.
|
|
|
|
Having the program installed, simply run it with a StarDict .ifo file as an
|
|
argument. If you want the application to watch the X11 primary selection for
|
|
changes and automatically search for the selected text, use the -w switch.
|
|
This feature requires GTK+.
|
|
|
|
Dictionaries
|
|
------------
|
|
Unfortunately this application only really works with specific dictionaries.
|
|
Word definitions have to be in plain text, separated by newlines.
