BGL (babylon glossary) to GLS (babylon glossary source).

I just can't Compile it

Please don't be so categoric! Get a free compiler, get ZLIB.LIB (first hit in Google) and you too will be able to compile it.

Best regards, bilbo

I worked a little bit in C, but I almost forgot it all.
Any way, I did manage to compile it, but something doesn't work
Program starts, reads data(I think) but it doesnt write anything except for the header to the file. I will take a look at it later

Hi, please read the previous post carefully before sending such questions. I also wants you to compile and work on it yourself. but I have sent the compiled file before (#25). Use it and after you got the GLS edit it and change the default lang to arabic.

hi
first of all, i wanna thank for this superb code and app. it's been very useful for me. i got plenty of babylon dictionaries, some of them really big. Yesterday, i noticed something regarding the size of characters deflated. for some words, definitions sometimes exceed 1000 chars with all formatting tags eg. "<font><hr><br>...." and these are cut off after 1000 chars, i think. is it possible to increase the buffer size or something to overcome this?

Hi everyone,

I'm triyng to compile acidmelt code but something goes wrong.
I've discovered that is missing #include <ctype.h> ( I'm using DEVC++ ).
The other error that I cannot solve is:

line1> //>>uncompressing >
line2> zfile=fopen(datname,"wb");
line3> ztmp=gzopen(tmpfname,"rb");
line4> if(!zfile||!ztmp) return 0;

line2> error is: In function `int uncomp_bgl(char*, char*)': invalid conversion from `void*' to `FILE*'

I think is a cast type error, but I'm not able to solve it..

Can anyone help me?

regards

Thats's all ok...

I've solved the problem by putting: ztmp=(FILE*)gzopen(tmpfname,"rb") ie:

first: ztmp= gzopen(tmpfname,"rb"); > error
after: ztmp=(FILE*)gzopen(tmpfname,"rb"); > ok ( casting non implicit in c++ )

The other problem was during the linking process with dev-c++:

I had 4 linking error:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `gzopen'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `gzeof'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `gzread'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `gzclose'
ld returned 1 exit status

to solve this problem, is necessary to say the linker where is located the libz.a otherwise the linker does not recognize function methods.

( in devcpp go in project>option>linker and add the file required ).

bye

You go guys, great effort and good cause. (:
I'm gonna join you soon trying to kick the .bdc files.

[szereshki]

You are absolutely right dreamer. The buffer size is 1024 and the characters after 1019 chars will be cut. Maybe not an important problem in the C code. But since me as well as some other guys couldn't compile the code and went to the ASM code, I don't know how to workaround this. What if our melted guy (acidmelt) was here! And probably the busy guy -Bilbo- may have a suggestion.

Hi,

if you want I can help in the development of the full version of program. Say me what to modify I can do it ( I've all installed on my pc..).

It woud be great if you could help with that buffer which is not big enough for all the characters. With some dictionaries an entry can be really big. It would also be great if you could produce a compiled version so that we could all test it. I had a lot of trouble trying to compile the sources, specially with the ZLIB. At the end, after a lot of wasted time I finally had to give up.

One more thing it would be great to have is the decompliling of the bdc format.

Good luck and thanks a million.

The original bgl result is attached (Farsi with windows Arabic encoding). The converted one has all the letters, but with wrong encoding. The source and target languages in the glossary properties tab is selected as English although. Changing from English will result in a more defective output.
I also attached the changed binary file. It seems there is just one step more. Bilbo! Its your turn again!
(p.s. I also tried these on Babylon v5)

Ok, I can make modification to the file ( but let me understand what to modify!! )
First of all you can find a compiled version of it in the atthached file I've quoted. Try it and after we speak about modification to do.

I've done that but i still don't see your attachment

Bigal: Go directly to my post#25. I attached it there.
Antico2: How you compiled the c code? Any special compiler? let us now about it. thx
