Amaya Source Release

Last release date: 18 January 2012

Getting the source distribution

Release 11.4.4 (18 January 2012)

Checking out the code directly from our CVS base or from the Github repository allows you to follow the development of Amaya closely and to contribute much easier. Also, you will get a lot of bug fixes that are not in the distribution tar ball. In fact, if you intend to provide patches then you should fork the Github repository! Access to the CVS base Github repository is only available in read-only mode.

Installing and compiling Amaya sources

Please see the information about the Amaya sources. Make sure you're using one of the supported platforms. If you want to compile Amaya on:

• Unix platforms, read the Unix compiling section.
• There is also an example of Gentoo ebuild file
• PC/Windows platforms, read the Windows compiling section.

Installing dictionaries

Amaya includes a spell-checker. By default French and English dictionaries are included in the distribution. These dictionaries are not complete, so the spell-checker could report spelling errors just because the dictionary doesn't include these words.

If you need another dictionary, you must download and install it (in Amaya/dicopar/*.dic).
