Is there a Slackware package or SlackBuild for ibus-typing-booster?

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

I am not aware of a build Slackware.

I would be happy if somebody creates one and maintains it.

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

I cannot really do anything about this, I have no time to maintain a slackware package. I think it is better to report this to slackware or maybe you could maintain it for slackware?

Even if there is no package, it is not very difficult to build ibus-typing-booster from source. See the documentation at:

https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/docs/dev/

If you have problems building from source and need help, you can ask me.

@mike-fabian cf. this LinuxQuestions.org thread. It says I have missing dictionaries for en_US. When I click "Install missing dictionaries", nothing happens: Screenshot_20230406_222131 I have pyenchant-2.0.0-x86_64-1_SBo installed.

@mike-fabian I figured it out. I needed hunspell-en.

Yes, that's right! The "Install missing dictionaries" button works only on some distributions like openSUSE and Fedora. For Slackware and other distributions I would need extra code because installation of packages works differently. I would be happy for contributions for this.
