While I didn't know anything about how to solve this particular
breakage, I can just suggest you to look at textproc/goldendict instead.
It's an fully stardict dictionaries compatible. Plus it can check
urbandictionary, wikipedia and other (custom) online resources for a
word definition. I migrated to it when it only had landed to the ports
tree (thanks bsam@!) because stardict is dead upstream for a long time.
Hope this helps.


Hi Ruslan,

Thanks for the pointer. I've checked and ported this already some months
ago, but I can't manage some things to work, maybe because I'm just to
much thinking in how it does stardict and the things I'm used to use are
just not there, for example: if I have a word after scan in the popup
window, how do I get this into the main window?

PS. I know about stardict fork, but never checked it.

What is this? Is it in our ports tree?
Thanks

Hi Matthias,

as I said earlier, I didn't using stardict for a long time now so I can't help with questions like this. All I remember, that stardict was uhmm... old (there was word 'crap' originally). To be honest, I doesn't even using goldendict too often - translate.google.com (and thousands of desktop widgets/browser plugins for it) is enough to me in most times. Goldendict is good looking, more functional, and (most important) it's alive. Yes, goldendict is Qt-based, but it didn't bring and KDE components if I understand it right.

As for stardict fork question.. You may just look at it old offpage here: http://stardict.sourceforge.net/

There was some copyright issue and the project was closed. Then some people taked the sources and released their own stardict. I see there (http://www.stardict.org/) that they did just one minor release since 2007. And it still has that ugly UI. So, I believe it's more dead than alive.
