I have been staring longingly at <http:// stardict.sourceforge.net/>StarDict and would love to get it installed on my G5 running Tiger (10.4.4). I see that FreeBSD is supported and was wondering if there is something like the Debian "alien" tool for Fink, that can help us install packages from FreeBSD or .deb? This is at this time the only program that I am frustrated about not having been ported to Fink. It is a great resource for polyglots.

It is very easy to compile StarDict yourself: All additional libraries can be installed manually by Fink. Load the source file stardict-2.4.6.tar.bz2 to your desktop, expand with StuffitExpander. In the Terminal, write "export LDFLAGS=-L/sw/ lib", cd to the stardict folder (directory), type "./configure". If additional libraries are missing, install them with Fink, else type "make" and finally "sudo make install".
Good luck
Eugen

OK, Here is the response:

$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for gconftool-2... no
checking for intltool >= 0.22... 0.27.2 found
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool


The way that I read this is that something called a "parser perl module" needs to be installed. That is the only module correct? So I need to install that and then do another "./configure" and then "make" and "sudo make install". Is that correct?

That's correct. You can install this perl module with fink (-> xml- parser). BTW, I forgot to mention that you should type "./configure --with-x --disable-gnome-support", thus you won't need to have gnome installed.

Hi Eugen,

Fink returns:

$ fink install xml-parser
Information about 1976 packages read in 1 seconds.
Failed: no package found for specification 'xml-parser'!

I did a "fink-selfupdate" just before this. The Fink home page lists a number of packages, all starting with "xml-parser-pm". When I try that, Fink returns:

$ fink install xml-parser-pm
Password:
Information about 1976 packages read in 1 seconds.
Failed: no package found for specification 'xml-parser-pm'!

What is going on????

Cheers,

Brian
