## 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 10/11, Ubuntu Linux, Mac OS X.
### External Deps
* Make, GCC, Git
* Qt framework. Minimum required version is 5.15 and support the latest QT version 6.X
* 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 for Qt5
sudo apt-get install git pkg-config build-essential qt5-qmake \
libvorbis-dev zlib1g-dev libhunspell-dev x11proto-record-dev \

```
## How to build
First, clone this repository, e.g.:
git clone https://github.com/xiaoyifang/goldendict.git
### Linux (fedora)
And then invoke `qmake-qt5` and `make`:
cd goldendict && qmake-qt5 && make
### ArchLinux
on archlinux based os, you can use `yay` to install the community goldendict-webengine-git .
#(Manjaro distribution)
pacman -S --needed git base-devel yay
yay -S goldendict-webengine-git
### macOS
```
brew install qt # or use official offline installer
qmake CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=zim_support CONFIG+=chinese_conversion_support QMAKE_APPLE_DEVICE_ARCHS="x86_64 arm64"
make
make install
```
### Windows
Alternatively, you might want to load `goldendict.pro` file from within Qt Creator, especially on Windows.
### 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 and zstd-dev packages:
sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev libzstd-dev
Then pass `"CONFIG+=zim_support"` to `qmake`
qmake "CONFIG+=zim_support"
### Building without extra tiff handler( DEPRECATED )
**deprecated: qt has offered b/w tiff support which means this options should always _enabled_. intend to remove in the future.**
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 players
If you have problem building with FFmpeg/libao (for example, Ubuntu older than 12.04), you can pass
`"CONFIG+=no_ffmpeg_player"` to `qmake` in order to disable FFmpeg+libao internal audio player back end:
qmake "CONFIG+=no_ffmpeg_player"
If you have problem building with Qt5 Multimedia or experience GStreamer run-time errors (for example, Ubuntu 14.04), you can pass
`"CONFIG+=no_qtmultimedia_player"` to `qmake` in order to disable Qt Multimedia internal audio player back end:
qmake "CONFIG+=no_qtmultimedia_player"
<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" "CONFIG+=no_ffmpeg_player"
Then, invoke `make clean` before `make` because the setting change:
make clean && make
### Building with xapian
build xapian from source, download and extract the xapian-core source code.
./configure
make
make install
On Windows,follow the instructions in the xapian-core/INSTALL Visual Studio parts.**xapian does not support to use the Debug lib in Windows. have to debug in release version mode using xapian's release lib**.
A precompiled version of xapian lib has provided in winlibs
use `CONFIG+=use_xapian` to enable this feature. when enabled ,xapian will be used to support as the the fulltext's backend engine.
qmake "CONFIG+=use_xapian"
### Building under Windows with MS Visual Studio
the source code has offered precompile x64 windows libs on winlibs/lib/msvc. you can build your own version either.
To build with Visual Studio.
check this [how to build with visual studio](howto/how%20to%20build%20and%20debug%20with%20VS2019.md)
## 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!
You can uninstall via:
make uninstall
