Here is the closest thing to an idiots guide I can offer. This requires running Zim from source. I know this works with Zim 0.60 on Windows XP 32 bit and 64 bit but you must use 32 bit python. I do not know if this works for Windows 7. 1) Download and install the following. python 2.6.6 (32 bit) http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/python-2.6.6.msi local copy: ./1 - python-2.6.6.msi pyGTK-all-in-one GTK2.22 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.22/pygtk-all-in-one-2.22.6.win32-py2.6.msi
local copy: ./2 - pygtk-all-in-one-2.22.6.win32-py2.6.msi pyenchant-1.5.3 http://pypi.python.org/packages/any/p/pyenchant/pyenchant-1.5.3.win32.exe local copy: ./3 - pyenchant-1.5.3.win32.exe PyGTKSpell-2.25.3 http://gramps-project.org/wiki/images/f/ff/PyGTKSpell-2.25.3.win32-py2.6.zip local copy: ./4 - PyGTKSpell-2.25.3.win32-py2.6.exe 2) Download and extract the latest zim src (June 2013, using 0.60, I extracted to C:\Program Files (x86)\zim-0.60): http://zim-wiki.org/downloads/zim-0.60.tar.gz 3) Create a copy of [zim_root]\zim.py and rename the copy to [zim_root]\zim.pyw (the .pyw extension allows launching without a shell). 4) Do one of the following: a) add the installed location of Enchant to the windows path. eg: C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\enchant (this is my preferred option) or b) Edit [zim_root]\zim.pyw, add import enchant at the top with the other imports 5) Start zim using [zim_root]\zim.pyw --standalone (January 2013, starting with 0.58 the --standalone tag is required) [email protected] Sent by: [email protected] 07/02/2013 02:35 AM To [email protected] cc Subject [Zim-wiki] Newbie spell check Hello I have just recently found Zim-wiki and am really liking it - I am thinking about moving form MyInfo to Zim as my information repository and research database/tool. - However, the lack of a spell check is really putting a block on this - I really need a spell check. I cannot get it working though - I am on Windows 7 64bit [yeah I know!], and I do not have a clue how to go about making the spellcheck work in Zim. the check box is dimmed out and 'gtkspell - failed' is in red under Plugins> dependencies, in the preferences box. Can you give me an idiots guide to getting it working [eg where do I install the gtkspell files, and which of the many hundreds of aspell_gb files do I need, and where do I put them, that kind of thing etc etc - really basic stuff. Sorry to be such a naïve pain Jeff_______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp If you are not the intended addressee, please inform us immediately that you have received this e-mail in error, and delete it.
