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)
• sed: brew install gnu-sed (Hungarian)
• awk: brew install gawk (Hungarian)
• m4: brew install m4 (Hungarian)
• ispell: brew install ispell (German)

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

Contributing

New dictionaries can be added quite easily. Most importantly, they must be licensed with a free license, and they should be convertible by iconv(1) to UTF-8.
