Re: Ebview and Gjiten

[Adrien <pied@pied.mine.nu>]

Eventually succeeded with ebview, after writing a mail to its developper.
He told me that my dictionnaries weren't in the good format (freepwing),
and gave me an url.
>From that url, get the dictionnary, "オリジナルデータ" and that should
be okay.
Didn't try yet those dicts with gjiten.
If it doesn't work, I'll try to compile gjiten.

Here's his answer to my mail.
