Those errors suggest that some Windows editor has been used

since in my office we have to use windows, I must copy and past codes to notepad. I tried to use cygwin and virtualbox to run linux on windows platform but the result is not functional due to my system resources.
anyway I will test it tonight at home
thanks again my friend

If your work allows you to install programs, I can highly recommend Notepad++ for editing files meant for linux (and for files meant for Windows). It is just a great, simple program. I know wordpad (included with Windows and is a step up from notepad) can properly read files that were created using LF instead of CRLF, however, I don't know whether it will create files that way, so that would need to be determined by you.

In your Linux , try
Code:

mv goldendict.SlackBuild goldendict.SlackBuild.old
fromdos < goldendict.SlackBuild.old > goldendict.SlackBuild

and then rerun the SlackBuild.

worked. although there is some problem during installation some persian dictionary. but there are many useful bgl dictionary I can use.

Sorry, my mistake. Cancel ".BGL" and just leave "*" character on line 91 of slackbuild,

Code:

cp $CWD/dictionaries/* $PKG/usr/share/apps/goldendict/dictionaries

script will copy every file inside your "dictionaries" directory.

thanks a lot my friend and sorry for taking your time. I will test it tonight. I had to install dictionaries manually via goldendict itself which causes program crash.

nope
the SlackBuild copies all of my dictionaries to /usr/share/app/goldendict/dictionaries but after launching goldendict none of them loaded by default and I must install them manually which lead to an unresponsive situation and I have to kill it via task manager

I think dictonaries have to be installed manually. Sorry I can't help you about the "unresponsive situation" problem, you could delete ".goldendict" directory in your home and reinstall again dictionaries running program in console maybe output helps
