Install GooglePinyin Input Method in Linux

I installed a Ubuntu system, Ubuntu 10.04. The default Pinyin input method is too difficult to use, so I want to reinstall it. I found several online methods, including sun PinYin Input Method and fcitx (little penguin input method), all of which are easy to use, but all of them failed to be installed. The configuration fails after installation, causing garbled characters. Now I have installed a GooglePinyin, which is actually in use and very useful. The following are the installation materials found on the Internet. We will share them with you to develop the spirit of open source software. Installation Steps (required

I installed a Ubuntu system, which is Ubuntu 10.04. The default Pinyin input method is too difficult to use, so I want to reinstall it.

I found several online methods, including sun PinYin Input Method and fcitx (little penguin input method), all of which are easy to use, but all of them failed to be installed. The configuration fails after installation, causing garbled characters.

Now I have installed a GooglePinyin, which is actually in use and very useful. The following are the installation materials found on the Internet. We will share them with you to develop the spirit of open source software.

Installation Steps (requires self-compilation ):

A. Get the code:

$ Git clone git: // github.com/tchaikov/scim-googlepinyin.git
$ Scim-googlepinyin.git cd

B. Prerequisites for compilation:

The above link describes how to compile the program, but introduces a few required components, which are listed below:

* Autotools-dev
* Libgtk2.0-dev
* Libscim-dev
* Libtool
* Automake1.9

Run the following command to check whether the tool is installed. If not, it will automatically help you install the tool:

$ Aptitude install autotools-dev libgtk2.0-dev libscim-dev libtool automake1.9

C. Compile:
Remember that the system must first have SCIM (if not, sudo apt-get install scim)

$./Autogen. sh
$ Make
$ Sudo make install

It's done. Restart SCIM and try it.
