Created attachment 877 [details] diff against the mandriva mecab.spec mecab is available in Mandriva, and is needed for anki's (a spaced repetition program that is available in mageia) japenese-support. http://mecab.sourceforge.net/ ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/Mandriva/official/2010.1/SRPMS/contrib/release/mecab-0.98-2mdv2010.1.src.rpm ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/Mandriva/official/2010.1/SRPMS/contrib/release/mecab-ipadic-2.7.0-20070801.2mdv2010.0.src.rpm (0.98 is the current release of mecab, and 2.7.0-20070801 the current release of the dictionary) http://sourceforge.net/projects/mecab/files/ removing the mandirva-specific version check for the post[un] scripts (to run ldconfig manually for older releases) allows the mecab package to compile & install fine on mageia, the dictionary one needs the path adapted (and should probably be turned into a noarch one with the files in /usr/share/mecab/ipadic (or whatever other distros use) instead of /usr/lib - but that would need a change in both packages for the config-file to point to the correct path) Patches against the mandriva packages attached
Created attachment 878 [details] patch against the mecab-ipadic.spec change to noarch, and removed the charset conversion to utf-8, as anki expects it to be in the default euc-jp encoding
