Installation

- -

The dictionary client is distributes as tar.gz file. You can -found the latest version at -http://www.myrkr.in-berlin.de/dictionary/dictionary-1.7.2.tar.gz. -Please download this file now before continue reading. - -

Unpacking

- -

To unpack the archive use the following command: -

gzip -dc dictionary-1.7.2.tar.gz | tar -xf -
-
- -

If you have a GNU tar installed, you can also the following -command: -

tar -xzf dictionary-1.7.2.tar.gz
-
- -

A directory named dictionary-1.7.2 will have been created by -these commands. - -

Installing the files

- -

There are several ways of installing this package. If you are a -Debian user you can create a Debian Package for installation using the -dpkg command. XEmacs users can create a XEmacs package -which can be easily installed too. Other users have to compile the -package using the supplied Makefile and manually install the -files. All these installation methods are described in the following -sections. - -

Debian

- -

If you are using a current Debian distribution (one that support the -emacsen package system) and have the dpkg-dev package installed -(for running dpkg-buildpackage) you can use the supplied -debian support: - -

make debian
-
- -

This will create a package named dictionary-1.7.2-1_all.deb or -similiar in the parent directory of dictionary-1.7.2. You can -now install this package as root, it will automatically byte-compile -itself for all installed emacs versions and provide a startup-file -which autoloads this package. In the configuration example given below -you can omit the autoload lines. - -

If you no longer want to use this package, you can remove it using: - -

dpkg -r dictionary
-
- -

XEmacs 21

- -

XEmacs starting with version 21 has support for so called xemacs -packages. These packages are also supported, you can create them -using: -

make EMACS=xemacs package
-
- -

The created package will be named dictionary-1.7-pkg.tar.gz and -stored within the current directory. If you don't want to install -this package manually, you can use the following command, provided you -have sufficient privileges (if unsure, login as super user): - -

make EMACS=xemacs package-install
-
- -

If you have more than one XEmacs versions installed make sure the -EMACS argument to make points to the correct binary. - -

Please note, dictionary is now part of the official XEmacs package -distribution. This means you can install this package using the -integrated package management. - -

Manual Installation

- -

The first step in the manual installation is the byte compilation of -the lisp file for quicker loading and execution. Using the supplied -Makefile this is quite easy, just invoke: - -

make
-
- -

in the dictionary-1.7.2 sub directory. This will use emacs as -the name of the Emacs executable. If you want to use a different -location or a different program (for example, XEmacs) for byte -compilation, use the EMACS argument to the Makefile like -in the following example for XEmacs: - -

make EMACS=xemacs
-
- -

If your custom package is not up-to-date expect some warnings about -free variables. - -

The next step is the installation of the files. At the moment there -is no support for this step, you have to copy the compiled lisp files -(named *.elc) to a directory within your load-path by -yourself. Usually the directories /usr/lib/emacs/site-lisp or -/usr/local/lib/emacs/site-lisp are suitable locations for this. -XEmacs users please use the according xemacs/site-lisp -directory. - -

The final step is to inform your Emacs of the newly installed package. -I added a dictionary-init.el file to the distribution which -contains some autoload instructions to let Emacs know of the -new functions. You can now insert the contents of this file in your -.emacs or .xemacs file or install -dictionary-init.el into the site-lisp directory and load -it using: - -

(load "dictionary-init")
-
- -

Key Bindings

- -

You probably want to define some key combinations to invoke the -dictionary-search or dictionary-match functions. - -

The following example shows the key bindings I'm using myself for this -package. These are not supplied by this package because the -C-c prefix key together with a letter suffix are reserved for -the user itself. To activate these bindings insert them into your -.emacs or .xemacs file: - -

;; key bindings for the dictionary package
-(global-set-key "\C-cs" 'dictionary-search)
-(global-set-key "\C-cm" 'dictionary-match-words)

Usage

- -

Dictionary

- -

Dictionary is a Emacs1 package for accessing a -dictionary server providing word definitions. - -

The Request for Comments 2229 http://www.dict.org/rfc2229.txt -defines a protocol for communication between a dictionary client and a -dictionary server. The dictionary server keeps several databases -(containing dictionary definitions) and provides an interface for the -client to list the definition for a word and to search for words -matching to pattern. - -

This software implements the client side of that protocol. It allows -you to use a dictionary server (for example provided by the site -www.dict.org) from within Emacs. - -

Please note that the dictionary protocol uses the port 2628 which is -likely to be blocked by firewalls. It is possible to connect to the -dictionary server through a HTTP proxy similiar to the way HTTPS -connections on port 443 are relayed, See HTTP Proxy. - -
