macOS

Each dictionary can be installed on OS X by following this StackExchange answer.

Building

I’ve only tested this on macOS, but there you at least need to install:

• hunspell: brew install hunspell (many things)
• coreutils: brew install coreutils (many things)
• ispell: brew install ispell (German)

Note that the GNU replacements should be setup in PATH to overwrite macOS defaults.

Contributing

Dictionaries can be added if:

• Have a significant affix file (not just a .dic file)
• They have an open source license
• Are convertible to UTF-8 with iconv(1)

The crawling and building is done in script/crawl.sh. Add code there, similar to the existing ones, to include new dictionaries.
