The QStarDict is a very nice dictionary available in the extras-devel repository it is based on StarDict and can use almost any dictionary library available after it has been converted.

The dictionary libraries are to be put in:
/usr/share/stardict/dic or /home/user/.stardict/dic

As it is not possible for one to find all the libraries, regarding a domain (such as a speciffic language, law or medicine), in one place, I decided to look for medical dictionaries and convert them if necessary for stardict.

A dictionary library consists of:

*.dict.dz or .dict
*.ifo
*.idx
*.syn (most dictionaries)

I am using Linux Mint "Helena" and stardict-tools for conversion when it is needed.
My goal is to create a comprehensive medical database for Qstardict that can easily be accessed from the repositories.

As I am quite new to linux I'd appreciate a step by step explanation of how to create the .deb package and which of the available folders you recommend for installing and why.

Thanks.
