Debian i Ubuntu have the dacco-common and qdacco packages. To install it on Debian and Ubuntu you can do:
apt-get install qdacco
Or:
sudo apt-get install qdacco
When executing qdacco the first time it will show the preferences dialogue. Click "Ok" to continue.
The dictionary files are installed with qdacco on Debian and Ubuntu. The first time that qdacco is executed it will show the preferences dialogue: you can press "Ok". Otherwise you need to select the directory with the dictionary (named dictionaries).
If you need hte dictionaries you can find them in: http://www.catalandictionary.org
In order to compile qdacco, in Debian-based distributions you can execute:
git clone [email protected]:cpina/qdacco.git
cd qdacco
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
sudo make install # it will be installed in /usr/local/bin
In other distributions you will need to install the Qt5 and cmake using their package system.
To download the dictionaries: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dacco/dacco-0.9.zip?download
You can check in http://www.catalandictionary.org if there are newer ones.
Debian, Ubuntu, etc. is not needed because qdacco installs the dependency dacco-common.
Festival is a speech synthesis system. Usually it is available in "festival" package. If it is installed, qdacco will be able to pronunce words (check advanced configuration).
