GJiten is a dictionary

Gjiten is a Japanese dictionary program for edict files. It also contains a kanji dictionary.

On Ubuntu:

% sudo apt update
% # install all dependencies
% sudo apt install build-essential libgtk-3-dev

% sh ./autogen.sh
% make
% sudo make install

I'm trying to get this GTK3-Port into the official repos. If you can help me with that, please contact me.

Use the --enable-debug while developing

% # Add `universe` repository
% sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"
% sudo apt update
% # install all dependencies
% sudo apt install build-essential libgtk-3-dev

% # build it with
% ./autogen.sh --enable-debug
% make

% # run it
% cd ./src
% ./gjiten

With --enable-debug you have to start gjiten from within src. Otherwise static paths will be invalid and you'll encounter various problems

Report bugs directly here on Github.

If you file bugs please try to include the following information:

• gjiten version ( gjiten --version )
• distribution and other info about your OS (under Ubuntu: lsb_release --all)
• gtk release ( pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0 )
• output of gdb gjiten and/or strace gjiten
• and any other info you might think is important.

User settings are stored in <system config path>/gjiten/gjiten.config . Under Ubuntu this amounts to ~/.config/gjiten/gjiten.conf.
