Update/build dictionary

You need a bash compatible shell, gnu tools, hunspell (and hunspell-tools on some systems) and a c++14 compatible compiler installed. xmunch (https://github.com/gamag/xmunch) is as submodule, so after cloning this repository, run git submodule update --init, then go to xmunch subdirectory and run make.

To build the dictionary, run make all

To build the packages for firefox and OpenOffice, run make bundle later.

Updating Bumbeishvilis word list

NOTE: the word list is included in words/, you don't need this steps to work on the dictionary.

You need a running mysql server and git.

Clone this repository

Log into mysql and add a user and a database for the word list:

$ mysql -uroot -p
mysql > CREATE DATABASE geoword;
mysql > CREATE USER 'geowords'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql > CREATE USER 'geowords'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql > GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON geowords.\* TO 'geowords'@'localhost'; 
mysql > FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Create a file called dbaccess in the ka_GE.spell root. containing:

DBNAME=geowords
DBUSER=geowords
DBPASS=password

call make db

Remarks

The automatically created dictionary is not very accurate, some words may be wrong, many missing. To improve that, words from the dictionary can be reviewed and correct words added to the reviewed dictionary in their final, affix-compressed form. Wrong words can be added to blacklist.

Contributing

Any help is very welcome, especially reviewing the dictionary and improving the affix files.

TODO: translate README to Georgian.
