IBus - Intelligent Input Bus for Linux / Unix OS
Note : this page is mainly written in English with the exception of a few Chinese Characters.
Installing IBus to the BLFS system had been a time demanding process for me. I had to resolve all the dependencies in the process of building. This was not an obvious task and a lot of web surfing was involved. Finally I figured out the correct dependency tree and build order for the project.
In order to have a functioning IBus, I chose six commonly used packages from the project home page as target building candidates. They are :
1. ibus : the core engine
2. ibus-table : support the table based input method such as cangjie(倉頡) and wubi(五筆)
3. ibus-table-cangjie : table for the cangje input method
4. ibus-pinyin : a phonetic input method (拼音)
5. ibus-table-cantonese : Another phonetic input method in Cantonese
6. ibus-table-xingma : five strokes input method (五筆)
Here comes the dependency :
ibus depends on gnome-common, intltool, gtk-doc, docbook-xml, docbook-xsl,gconf, ORBit2,dbus,dbus-python,dbus-glib,iso-codes, PyGTK,pygobject,pycairo,pyxdg,libnotify,Notify-python,librsvg,libart_lgpl,popt,libxml2,libgsf,libcroco,gnome-python-desktop,python, gtk
ibus-table depends on pysqlite,sqlite
ibus-pinyin depends on libsigc
And this is one of the working building order :
0. gtk, python, libIDL, Pango, SQLite (previously built, see the firefox page)
1. gnome-common
2. intltool
3. docbook-xml
4. docbook-xsl
5. gtk-doc
6. ORBit2
7. gconf
8. dbus
9. dbus-glib
10. dbus-python
11. iso-codes
12. ibus
13. pygobject
14. pycairo
15. PyGTK
16. pyxdg
17. pysqlite
18. rebuild python (for pysqlite support)
19. ibus-table
20. ibus-table-cangjie
21. libnotify
22. Notify-python
23. libart_lgpl
24. popt
25. libxml2
26. libcroco
27. libgsf
28. librsvg
29. gnome-python-desktop (for pyrsvg support)
30. rebuild gtk (for librsvg support)
31. Libsigc
32. ibus-pinyin
33. ibus-table-cantonese
34. ibus-table-xingma
How I found out the above dependency and the build order would be another long story, which can be found in the appendix below.

But the icons in the panel are not correctly shown. This is because the icons in ibus are in SVG format.
This requires librsvg to be built. SVG stands for scalable vector graphics. This is an xml format and hence librsvg depends on libxml.
To have full SVG support, we have to build libart_lgpl, popt, libxml2, libcroco, libgsf before building librsvg.

cat >/usr/bin/cxterm <<"EOF"
export LANG=zh_TW.utf8 export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim xterm -name cxterm & EOF Make it executable :
chmod 755 /usr/bin/cxterm I still keep xterm as English console, because searching web for English error message is sometime more efficient.
If I want to start application that support Chinese, I start cxterm, and then start application such as vi and firefox inside cxterm.
Then I can input Chinese in vi or firefox.
4. Restart computer, startx, start cxterm, execute
ibus-setup inside cxterm.ibus-setup 5. You can always check the ibus process status :
ps -ef | grep ibus foo 15735 15518 0 11:30 pts/3 00:00:17 /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --xim
foo 20037 15735 0 12:58 pts/3 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-gconf foo 20039 15735 0 12:58 pts/3 00:00:06 python /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py foo 20041 1 0 12:58 pts/3 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-x11 --kill-daemon foo 20042 15735 0 12:58 pts/3 00:00:01 python /usr/share/ibus-anthy/engine/main.py --ibus 6. Make all necessary setting inside the GUI of ibus-setup (select hotkey, preferred input method)
7. Restart X (by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace), or restart computer if you want a more clean environment.
8. Start cxterm again, you should be able to input Chinese inside cxterm and vi
9. start firefox inside cxterm, you should be able to input Chinese inside firefox.
