gjiten request

Can someone please add this package: gjiten.

Gjiten is a Japanese dictionary program for GNOME.
Gjiten also has a kanji dictionary. Any combination of stroke count, radicals and search key can be used for kanji lookups.

Re: gjiten request

its not the pkgbuild.. i downloaded the source, ran .configure, then make.
If i cant compile it through manual way, it wouldnt compile with the pkgbuild anyway. When it compiles without error, i will finish the pkgbuild for it.

license="GPL"
depends=('gtk2')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
  cd $startdir/src
  iconv -f EUC-JP -t UTF-8 edict -o edict.utf8
  iconv -f EUC-JP -t UTF-8 kanjidic -o kanjidic.utf8
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share/gjiten/dics
  mv edict.utf8 $startdir/pkg/usr/share/gjiten/dics/
  mv kanjidic.utf8 $startdir/pkg/usr/share/gjiten/dics/
}

Adds two basic dictionaries to /usr/share/gjiten/dics : edict and kanjidic. You still have to manually set the dictionaries in preferences. If it works for you, add it to the AUR (and vote for it)!

Re: gjiten request

Thx.. it works just fine.. Just one thing I dont understand about making pkgbuilds. How do I know which makedependancies it requires? I did not have lynx and therefor it didnt compile for me..

Will definitively vote for it.

Re: gjiten request

It think for it to work fully you need to make the perlscript run also, which sets alot of gconf settings besides downloading the dictionary files.

Re: gjiten request

There are two ways-

1) Check the program's website or README files to see which programs are required.

2) Use the "namcap" program in the extra repository. Simply run "namcap <built_package>" and it will analyze it for problems. For just depends, run "namcap -r depends <built_package>". Note that namcap is extremely useful, but doesn't always know all the required programs.

I would recommend doing both when making a PKGBUILD to cover all your bases.

EDIT: Er, wait. You said makedepends. Doh. Well, in that case, you only have option #1 available to you

Re: gjiten request

namcap wasn't really helpful so I had to google the error make was giving

and i didn't include perlscript because I'm not running the perl script neither am I changing any gconf settings. once u start the program, go to prefs and select the dictionary and it'll automagically update ur gconf settings.
I WAS going to make a patch that'll do it automatically, but I ran out of time (and now my homework has crossed the deadlne) but I'll look into that sometime.

Re: gjiten request

Hi,
Wow I wanna try gjiten & kanjipad.  But trying to makepkg gjiten, I got errors saying the md5sums checks failed for edict.gz & kanjidic.gz....   Can anyone set me straight how to do this?  Thanks!

Re: gjiten request

That's normal since these files are updated quite often. Just update the md5sums in the PKGBUILD accordingly or even delete them (this will issue a warning but the build process will continue).
