Install Scim-Python Input Method in Archlinux

 

The following describes how to install the scim-python Input Method in Archlinux. I hope to share it with you. One reason why I chose to install scim-python is that Fcitx does not seem to work well with FF3. In addition, the Fcitx dictionary is not as large as sicm-python.

Before installing scim-python, install

Pacman-S scim

After

Yaourt pyenchant

Then download the latest code from the http://code.google.com/p/scim-python.

After unzipping the scim-python-0.1.11.tar.gz, run the following command:

$ Scim-python-0.1.11 cd

$./Autogen. sh -- prefix =/usr

$ Make

$ Sudo make install

Install scim-python.

Then install scim-bridge. Some programs cannot be started if scim-bridge is not installed. For example, Thunderbird.

Yaourt scim-bridge can be installed.

After installation, update the content in/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk. immodules. Execute the gtk-query-immodules-2.0 to redirect the output to/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk. immodules.

Then you need to manually modify the content of the/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk. immodules file, delete the two lines related to scim (keep the two lines related to scim-bridge ). If you do not delete the two lines related to scim, you will not be able to access X Windows after cancellation. It may be related to the process of scim-launcher.

Modify. bashrc and add

Export XIM = scim

Export XIM_PROGRAM = scim

Export GTK_IM_MODULE = scim-bridge

Export XMODIFIERS = "@ im = scim"

You can.
