- You need to download the tarball first: http://git.tuxfamily.org/okboard/okb...master.tar.bz2 and uncompress it at your /home directory

- You need the dictionaries. I take it from https://github.com/titoBouzout/Dictionaries but it needs to be adjusted, so I attach the file already processed (see Spanish.dic.txt.zip on this post)

-You need the corpora files of your language (e.g. Spanish)

- You need the "aspell-es" package (in case of Spanish) instaled from the repos of your distro.

- You need "lbzip2" package installed in your system too.

-You need "rsync" installed in your system.

-You need "QT5" installed in your system.

- Now you need to create a folder somewhere and put the dictionary inside (e.g. /home/username/okboard/langs)

-If you have several corpora files, then:

Code:

cat file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 > corpus-es.txt

- Open a terminal window

- And set the two environment variables:

Code:

export CORPUS_DIR=/home/username/okboard/langs

Code:

export WORK_DIR=/home/username/okboard/langs

- You can see those variables with

Code:

echo $VARIABLE_NAME

if you're curious

- You need to compress the file (Spanish.dic.txt) you put before in /home/username/okboard/langs:

Code:

bzip2 Spanish.dic.txt

- Now should be named corpus-$LANG.txt.bz2 In our case: corpus-es.txt.bz2 because of Spanish

- There should be a single file inside.

- The next thing is to do is to move in okboard files inside the same Terminal window in our case "/home/username/okb-engine-master/". Here is the okboard's source code.

Code:

cd /home/username/okb-engine-master/

- In 'db' folder you must create a lang-es.cf file first. You can copy it from another .cf file in the same folder (e.g. copy lang-en.cf and rename it into lang-es.cf)

-And left only ASCII characteres on those files:

Code:

lbzip2 -d < corpus.txt.bz2 | clean_corpus.py | lbzip2 > new_corpus.txt.bz2

- Execute

Code:

db/build.sh es

("es" in case of Spanish)

- After this, the script create the dictionaries for OKBoard with next list of files:

add-words-fr.txt
es-predict.dict
lang-fr.cf
clusters-es.log
es-test.txt.bz2
lang-nl.cf
clusters-es.txt
es.tre
predict-es.db
corpus-es.txt.bz2
grams-es-full.csv.bz2
predict-es.ng
db.version
grams-es-learn.csv.bz2
predict-es.rpt.bz2
es-full.dict
grams-es-test.csv.bz2
predict-es.txt.bz2
es-full.tre
lang-en.cf
words-es.txt
es-learn.txt.bz2
lang-es.cf

- So, now we have the Spanish dictionary created.

After this. I don't know what to do with these files. So any help is welcome
