Hi Xuetian,

I'm trying to add some new config options to fcitx-chewing.

But after modification, build, and installation.

The chewing input method disappeared in fcitx-config, while if I restore the change then chewing show up again.

I wonder if there is something else that needs to be done in addition to the modification in eim.c, eim.h, config.c, and fcitx-chewing.desc..

(I could also send the PR on GitHub to let you the modification)

BTW, how can I attach gdb on fcitx-chewing or libchewing for me to debug easier?

Thanks!

Billy Su

If you want to add any new feature you should contribute to fcitx5-chewing.

Fcitx 4 is only under maintenance mode now.

well...

Because Fcitx 4 is still the default installation in lubuntu20.04, I would like to try it first.

If I still can't figure out the bug, maybe I will install Fcitx5 in the future, then to contribute to it.

If you use make install, gtk-query-immodules-3.0 --update-cache might
be required.

fcitx5-diagnose may give you more information about whether you have
installed it correctly.
