(1) Bug: There are only 7 public dictionaries for Amaya [1]. But there are no Norwegian or Russian dictionaries, for example. As a workaround, I would like to create a personal dictionary - or "source dictionary" - according to the rules Irene described in a previous message [2] and then to just rely on the personal dictionary. I would use an ispell or OpenOffice dictionary as basis. However, the personal dictionary only works together with the 7 public dictionaries, it seems. So if I have <body xml:lang="no">, then Amaya does not use the personal dictionary. So this workaround is actually closed, it seems. (I could fake and use xml:lang="en", I guess ... but that seems meaningless.) Could this be changed so that the personal dictionary works with any language? Or, at the very best, I would like to be able to create (personal) dictionaries that are language specific. (2) How to create a compiled dictionary? Based on the mentioned message from Irene [2], I downloaded the "extenddic.tgz" package[3], and unpacked it. I understood that the included compiler needed some extra include files, and so I also downloaded the full source of Amaya 11.2, and dropped the content of the extenddic package (the files "traiter.c" et al.) into the folder "amaya-fullsrc-11.2/Amaya/thotlib/internals/h", as this seemed to be where the include files was located - I have no clue where else to put them. Then I ran ./compiler from the commandline. Only to get a lot of error messages about other lacking files as well. I located those files and placed a copy in the same folder, only to get other error messages (such as «/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/include/varargs.h:4:2: error: #error "GCC no longer implements <varargs.h>."» and «appstruct.h:22: error: syntax error before ‘Proc’» Perhaps there is a more complete (and perhaps updated) explanation of how to create a dictionary? (I noticed that the "extenddic" package is from March 2000.) The basic info I need is a) where to place the 'extenddic' files and b) the syntax of the command line command ... If not, is there any way I could send a raw dictionary (and the personal dictionary is one such example, I think) to someone so they can compile and include the dictionary in Amaya?
