GoldenDict Forum

hi,

for the sake of simplicity Id like to use just on way to update goldendict. If I download from the links you provided, will I still be able to git pull?

I wanted to git pull first, but all I got is:

Code: Select all

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
   hotkeywrapper.cc
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.

If you install GoldenDict via my repository on build.opensuse.org then GoldenDict will be installed into /usr/bin/goldendict.

You will be able to build GoldenDict from sources as well. You would just end up with two different GoldenDict versions and could use both. But I agree that it is simpler to have a single version.

If you are OK building from sources, I'd recommend to stick with that approach, since that way you will be able to upgrade to whatever latest version any time you wish.

That means you have local changes to that file. Just remove them via:

Code: Select all

git checkout hotkeywrapper.cc

I have built the GoldenDict from GIT, it's working fine now. Here is the log if you interesting:

Could you please remove any of the mentioned workarounds and try the latest build and see if the problem is indeed resolved for you.

You could either build GoldenDict from sources or you could use my pre-built packages, courtesy of the awesome service from openSUSE:

Just select your distro (Ubuntu) and follow instructions for your Ubuntu version to add the new repository. Then just regular 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install goldendict'.
