stardict 3.0.6.2 not stable

qunying · 03-22-2022, 09:34 PM

I am on Slackware64-15, after upgrade to stardict 3.0.6.2, it frequently crashed just by typing random words on the search window.

Revert back to 3.0.6, no more crash. Any one encounter similar problem?

how do you revert to 3.0.6?
do you pass the script --disable-spell (there's no enchant-1.x in 15.0) when you rebuild the package? if I do that, typing something in the search window doesn't give any results...

I just download the 3.0.6 source and rebuild with the script. No changes to the SBo build script rather than the version number.

There's always command line stardict viewer sdcv. It's in slackbuilds (but you can just as easily clone/build it straight from github) and plays nice with good old Xterm and most/less pagers:

Code:

sdcv -n --utf8-output --color $QUERY | most -d -w

-n for calling in a script
--utf8-output for non-Latin characters

most -d -w means "wrap but don't insert backslashes"

I think there is also "GoldenDict" but it is QT4? and kind of ugly/bloaty.
