Toolbox

Introduction

Toolbox is a linguistic application. Bibledit can send words to Toolbox. It does this through Bibledit Windows Outpost. When double-clicking a word, it will send this word to Toolbox. The System log will show this.

Installation

Ensure you've got Wine installed.

Download Toolbox from http://www.sil.org/computing/toolbox/index.htm and put it in your home directory.

Open a terminal, and type

ls

to see a file InstallToolboxnn.exe, where nn is the version number, such as 14 or higher.

To install it, type

wine InstallToolboxnn.exe

Follow the installation instructions on the screen and finish the installation.

Next copy the Uniscript dll to the Toolbox directory. Normally this usp10.dll is in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/usp10.dll and the Toolbox directory will be ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Toolbox. So to copy it, type

cd
cp ".wine/drive_c/windows/system32/usp10.dll" ".wine/drive_c/Program Files/Toolbox"

To have wine use this usp10.dll, start winecfg by typing

winecfg

Click the Libraries tab, and add a new override for usp10.dll (native,builtin) so that wine will use the usp10.dll we just copied. Press OK to close winecfg.

Use

To start Toolbox, type

wine "c:/Program Files/Toolbox/Toolbox.exe"

If Toolbox gives many faults while running, try a Windows reboot to see if it improves.

If the user double-clicks a word in the Text Area of Bibledit, then this word will be sent to Toolbox, and Toolbox will open the dictionary entry for this word.
