Thai Dictionary on Dict Protocol

Poonlap made a program to convert data from Lexitron to dictd format. Thus, nowaday we have available English-Thai dictionary on dict protocol. That means we can use existing dict client such as gdict. And we can use Lexitron dictionary offline without using Java runtime environment. I try to get involve by adding autotools support patch which I don't know if it is good enough to use. :-P

Python and GTK+ as Cross Platform Environment

I used to have problem on using Python and GTK+ with Thai language.

But today it seems to be okay.



I installed these following software:

  1. GTK+ Runtime Environment

  2. Gaim - I don't know how to install Wimp so I use Gaim installer :-P

  3. PyGTK

  4. MinGW PyGTK can't find some DLLs. I don't know to set PATH on Windows so I use MinGW and Bash.


I 'm going to install gtksourceview from source package. It is probably hard task. I will follow the script of Dropline GTK+ Win32 and PyGTK Win32 ( In Do it yourself section ) . I probably need GCC from MinGW.
