## Introduction <b>GoldenDict</b> is a feature-rich dictionary lookup program, supporting multiple dictionary formats (StarDict/Babylon/Lingvo/Dictd/AARD/MDict/SDict) and online dictionaries, featuring perfect article rendering with the complete markup, illustrations and other content retained, and allowing you to type in words without any accents or correct case. ## Requirements This code has been run and tested on Windows XP/Vista/7, Ubuntu Linux, Mac OS X. ### External Deps * Make, GCC, Git * Qt framework. Minimum required version is 4.6 for Windows, 4.5 for all other platforms. But Qt 4.7 or 4.8 is recommended. * If you want to use Qt 5.x then use branch qt4x5 * Qt Creator IDE is recommended for development * Various libraries on Linux (png, zlib, etc) * On Mac and Windows all the libraries are already included in the repository ### Installing External Deps on Ubuntu Linux sudo apt-get install git pkg-config build-essential qt4-qmake \ libvorbis-dev zlib1g-dev libhunspell-dev x11proto-record-dev \ libqt4-dev libqtwebkit-dev libxtst-dev liblzo2-dev libbz2-dev \ libao-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libtiff5-dev libeb16-dev #### Installing External Deps on Ubuntu Linux for Qt5 sudo apt-get install git pkg-config build-essential qt5-qmake \ libvorbis-dev zlib1g-dev libhunspell-dev x11proto-record-dev \ qtdeclarative5-dev libqtwebkit-dev libxtst-dev liblzo2-dev libbz2-dev \ libao-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libtiff5-dev libeb16-dev \ libqt5webkit5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev qttools5-dev \ qttools5-dev-tools ## How to build First, clone this repository, e.g.: git clone git://github.com/goldendict/goldendict.git And then invoke `qmake-qt4` and `make`: cd goldendict && qmake-qt4 && make In case when `qmake-qt4` does not exist, try using `qmake` but make sure it is indeed from the Qt 4 installation. On the other hand, if you want to use `qt5`, make sure that `qmake` is from Qt 5 installation. If not, you can try finding it at a path like `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake`. Alternatively, you might want to load `goldendict.pro` file from within Qt Creator, especially on Windows. Note: To compile with `libhunspell` older than 1.5 pass `"CONFIG+=old_hunspell"` to `qmake`. ### Building with Chinese conversion support To add Chinese conversion support you need at first install libopencc-dev package: sudo apt-get install libopencc-dev Then pass `"CONFIG+=chinese_conversion_support"` to `qmake` qmake "CONFIG+=chinese_conversion_support" ### Building with Zim dictionaries support To add Zim and Slob formats support you need at first install lzma-dev package: sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev Then pass `"CONFIG+=zim_support"` to `qmake` qmake "CONFIG+=zim_support" ### Building without extra tiff handler If you have problem building with libtiff5-dev package, you can pass `"CONFIG+=no_extra_tiff_handler"` to `qmake` in order to disable extra tiff support (without such extra support some b/w tiff images will not be displayed): qmake "CONFIG+=no_extra_tiff_handler" ### Building without Epwing format support If you have problem building with libeb-dev package, you can pass `"CONFIG+=no_epwing_support"` to `qmake` in order to disable Epwing format support qmake "CONFIG+=no_epwing_support" ### Building without internal audio player If you have problem building with FFmpeg/libao (for example, Ubuntu older than 12.04), you can pass `"DISABLE_INTERNAL_PLAYER=1"` to `qmake` in order to disable internal audio player completely: qmake "DISABLE_INTERNAL_PLAYER=1" <b>NB:</b> All additional settings for `qmake` that you need must be combined in one `qmake` launch, for example: qmake "CONFIG+=zim_support" "CONFIG+=no_extra_tiff_handler" "DISABLE_INTERNAL_PLAYER=1" Then, invoke `make clean` before `make` because the setting change: make clean && make ### Building under Windows with MS Visual Studio To build GoldenDict with Visual Studio take one of next library packs and unpack it to `"winlibs/lib/msvc"` folder in GoldenDict sources folder.

Note: In Qt 5.6.0 and later the `Webkit` module was removed from official release builds. You should to build it from sources to compile GoldenDict. ## Installation Installation is an optional step since the built binary can be used as-is without installation. But you can properly install via: make install <b>NB:</b> Don't do that on Windows! ## License This project is licensed under the <b>GNU GPLv3+</b> license, a copy of which can be found in the `LICENSE.txt` file. ## Support Users looking for support should file an issue in the official [GoldenDict issue tracker](https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/issues), or even better: submit a [pull request](https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/pulls) if you have a fix available.
