Building...
Error, file version is not 2.4.2
Done!
Could one of you give me a step by step instruction of what to do next? I really would appreciate it!

First download the stardict file. Extract using winrar.
There is a file by the name of ***.dict.dz
rename this file to ***.dict.gz
Download 7 zip software and extract this file - You shall get ***.dict file.
Now fire up the stardict-editor -
You basically get three tabs when it open viz Compile, Decompile and edit
The Decompile tab is what we are interested in.
Go the decompile tab and click browse - Choose the ***.ifo file - Not the dict file ) and click decompile.
This would lead to creation of text file ***.txt
Use tab2opf.py script to convert this txt file into opf.
This should lead to creation of multiple html files and opf file.
Use mobigen.exe to convert it to a dictionary.
Hope this helps.
I Managed.
