Still it doesnt work for me, Adam. Is the shell hack necessary?

I've included a dictionary

Did you change something in the internals of the iLiad? The register?
Because it still does not run here.

Shell hack is necessary.

I'm running into issues as well. Sometimes I can only run it from the terminal, sometimes I can run it from the contentlister. I'm not sure what's going on. I didn't change anything on the internals of the iliad, other than for FBReader, but that shouldn't have any effect on this.

How to run it from the terminal?
Does it need parameters?
Then they should be in the Manifest file, I guess.

I have SSH access (with dillo) to my iLiad. That's how I test all my programs.

Adam B. · 03-19-2007, 11:54 PM

As far as I can test, it works now. However, typed text will not appear until you close the keyboard. This can be changed/adjusted by editing the iliad_refresh.conf file in the stardict directory.

It works fine just after I had changed the run.sh file into UNIX-typed format. That is, LF instead of CR/LF.

But it still does not recognize dictionary data except the Merriam-Webster 10th that was already included. That one has different file extention from those I've downloaded from the Stardict site. I guess it is a packed file and I'm wondering what should I do to change the files like that.

Adam B. · 03-20-2007, 09:36 AM

The files on sdict.org are not in the correct format for stardict. However, you can find most of those files in the right format here: http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/ Just make sure you change the download format to stardict.

wagnerian · 03-20-2007, 10:29 AM

Thank you, Adam B. But still problem. Now the file extention is bz2, and xdxf after extraction via WinRAR 3.62. What should I do?

wagnerian · 03-20-2007, 10:34 AM

Oops! I've downloaded the wrong files! I should have changed the "Download format" field at the Web page! :-(

Adam B. · 03-20-2007, 10:58 AM

Glad to hear you got it figured out.

I can verify this. After changing this stardict starts. -> Adam B., please update your upload. ;-)

How can I switch between different dictionaries? Right now I dont know whether stardict likes my downloaded dictionary.

A stardic dictionary consists of 3 files: *.dz, *.idx, *.ifo. Right?
[Edit] run.sh LF

Clicking on the result tab will show you the various dictionaries. I believe it also lets you chosee which dictionary to see the result from. You can use the options dialog to choose the order that it searches for answers.

I'll take a look at my run scripts...

Edit: Looks like you were right. I've adjusted this. Let me know if it works.

yokos · 03-20-2007, 11:24 AM

Yamp, several dictionaries are working! With the options button [bottom right, icon with wrench] you can enable & disenable them [little clickable checkbox].

I found my mistake: I put my dic in the wrong path, the correct path of dics is stardict\share\stardict\dic\dictionaryxxx.

emkay · 03-23-2007, 10:06 AM

OK, got it working here.
I copied your run.sh Yokos, but you put a "bin" folder in your path, which is why it wasn't starting up for me.
Looks good!
Re. the screen refresh: it looked as though it had got stuck in loading, but when I refreshed the screen it was open. I'll try playing with the iliad_refresh.conf file.
