I disowned the package as I'm with little time to maintain it, and I don't use this package anymore. So it would probably be better to have someone more involved with the package keeping it shiny and working.

@rafelff

https://sources.debian.org/patches/dico/2.11-4.3/ you'll for sure want the py3 diff, but I'd apply all those patches if I were in your shoes

here's what I changed to get it to compile for me:

makedepends=(autoconf automake)

envolution, this indeed helps. However, I'm unable to pass the build error below. I built in a clean chroot. Are you able to reproduce that?

after updating wordnet-common, configure with the following flag

./configure --with-libWN=wordnet

as per https://www.gnu.org.ua/software/dico/manual/wordnet.html

$ nm -D /usr/lib/libwordnet.so | grep findtheinfo
0000000000009f60 T findtheinfo
0000000000006b60 T findtheinfo_ds

Not sure why this package doesn't compile

@rafaelff: Thanks, it works now.

rafaelff commented on 2018-10-21 17:22 (UTC)

@sikmir: Changed requirement to wordnet-common. Please check and let me know.

error: target not found: wordnet

wordnet package split into wordnet-common, wordnet-cli and wordnet-tk.
