Binaries compiled for Linux, which are necessary to build .bdic dictionary for Chromium based browsers

GNU General Public License v3.0GPL-3.0

This repo contains binaries compiled for Linux, which are necessary to run convert_dict. Convert_dict is a tool that compiles hunspell dictionary files (.dic, .aff and .dic_delta) into one binary .bdic dictionary, which Chromium based browsers use for spell checking. All the binaries combined are around 153MB

You can learn more about .dic, .aff and .dic_delta files here

How to generate .bdic dictionary

  • Make sure that convert_dict binary is executable (use chmod +x)
  • Place .dic .aff and .dic_delta into the same folder (I recommend putting it in the folder where the binaries are) and make sure those 3 files have the same name, e.g.:
foo.dic
foo.aff
foo.dic_delta

Then run this command: $ path-to-convert_dict path-to-hunspell-files/name-of-those-files So, for example, if those 3 files are named foo and are placed in the same directory as the binaries, run: $ ./convert_dict foo
