	It's almost impossible to compile though. I tried on FreeBSD, OS X, and finally Ubuntu. After numerous fixes to the code, I got it to compile but it segfaults when you run it. – Gazzer Sep 2 '10 at 4:29 You can now install the tools by sudo apt-get install stardict-tools in Ubuntu. The tools are at/usr/lib/stardict-tools/ – Raptor 2 days ago add a comment

I found this step by step guide on how to use the StarDict editor for Windows in order to decompile a StarDict dictionary to XML format. Extract all files to a folder and then launch the file stardict-editor.exe, switch to the tab DeCompile. Now look at the dictionary files of StarDict you got, there should be 3 files : *.idx, *.ifo, *.dz. Rename the *.dz file to *.gz. Use WinZip or WinRAR to extract the *.dict file inside. Rename all the *.dict, *.ifo, *.idx files to a same name. Back to the StarDict Editor program, click Browse and select the *.ifo file and hit Decompile. You will see a new *.txt file inside the folder. Use it with DfM DictionaryGeneration. shareimprove this answer edited Jan 31 '12 at 21:09 slhck 127k38322366 answered Jan 31 '12 at 12:43 Michal Yashpe 111
