Over the last couple of months I've been chipping away at creating an add-on dictionary for the Dictionary application on Mac. I wanted to create a dictionary for CFWheels.

Apple's Dictionary Services Programming Tutorial
First up, have a look at this tutorial on Dictionary Services Programming over at developer.apple.com. It provides all the information one needs to get started. You can also download a PDF of this tutorial.
Template Files for Dictionary
One thing that the tutorial assumes is that you have the template files for dictionary development are. First challenge was to figure out where they were. I found that they are installed with XCode at: /Developer/Examples/Dictionary Development Kit. If you don't have XCode installed, then you can download the this zip file that contains the Dictionary Development Kit.

The built-in Dictionary app in macOS is hardly the sexiest piece of software out there, but it is a crucially overlooked resource. When combined with the context menu's 'Look Up' function, it makes both learning words and using words correctly far easier.
The Make Command
Before you customize anything in these files, simply run ‘make' command in directory where you unzip these files. It should create a dictionary called 'My Dictionary'. If you move this dictionary to /Library/Dictionaries or ~/Library/Dictionaries, it will start showing up i the Dictionary app.

- make clean : cleans older builds
- make install : installs the created dictionary to ~/Library/Dictionaries folder
- make : creates the dictionary
Change the XML and Info.plist
Now add the stuff you want in the XML that will be used to create the dictionary. You will have to generate the XML with the appropriate structure and content. Also modify the plist file as required. Run 'make' to create your dictionary.
A Big Gotcha – Cached Dictionaries
On thing that really had me flummoxed was that despite making a new dictionary, the Dictionary app was not reliably showing all the changes I expected.
Dec 22, 2017 The latest version of Fable - The Lost Chapters is 1.0 on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for Adventure in the Games category. The app is developed by Feral Interactive. By yobby - 2020, January 24 - 11:39pm. IMac G5 2GHz CPU 1Gb SRAM, 21Gb HD free space. I've had a few issues. I first tried installing and NoDVD cracking version 1.0, the crack worked but executing Fable usually instantly results in a crash with a 'Fable TLC quit unexpectedly' window.
This took a while to figure. There is a bunch of caching that comes into play if you are creating new builds of the dictionary. Cached versions show up and throw you off the track.
So I had to write this shell script to clean Dictionary app cache. Make sure that you
- make the script executable before running it, and
- quit the Dictionary app before you run

I found that I had run this each time I made a change to the XML file.
A downside to doing this is that it resets all Dictionary preferences. So when you start the Dictionary app after running this script, you have go to Preferences and turn on the dictionary you are working on. A bit painful, but not such a biggie.

So as I was making changes to the XML file with data, I was running the following commands:
- ./clean.sh (cleans out all dictionary caches)
- make clean (cleans out older builds of the dictionary)
- make (makes the dictionary)
- make install (installs the dictionary)
