Description Mamoru TASAKA 2024-08-21 08:01:00 UTC 
On Fedora 41, ibus input method using kkc cannot be activated.
ibus-setup says json file contains error.

$ rpm -qf /usr/share/libkkc/rules/default/rom-kana/default.json
libkkc-common-0.3.5-28.fc40.noarch


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch $ ibus-setup
2. choose "入力メソッド" tab
3. click kkc 「あ」 icon
4. click 「設定」button
Actual Results:  
** (ibus-setup-kkc:421517): ERROR **: 16:58:59.628: setup.vala:492: can't load typing rule default: can't load /usr/share/libkkc/rules/default/rom-kana/default.json: /usr/share/libkkc/rules/default/rom-kana/default.json:121:47: 解析エラー: unexpected character `,', expected string constant

Also, ibus input method using kkc cannot be activated

Expected Results:  
ibus input method using kkc can be activated
Comment 1 Mamoru TASAKA 2024-08-21 08:39:15 UTC 
Editing /usr/share/libkkc/rules/default/rom-kana/default.json to change:

"n\'": -> "n'":

seems to work.
Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2024-08-21 13:28:10 UTC 
Sorry, I basically just took over the package a few releases back to save it from retirement.
I think help is welcome, but kkc is not maintained any more afaik.

It also failed to rebuild for F41...

Comment 4 Mamoru TASAKA 2024-08-21 16:22:20 UTC 
(Personally, why I still want to use libkkc is that I find difficulty in typing math symbols with anthy like:

 zokusuru （属する) -> ∈
 fukumareru （含まれる） -> ⊂
 notto （ノット） -> ¬
 mujyun （矛盾） -> ⊥

)
Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2024-08-22 04:36:52 UTC 
Thanks for the PR - merged now - also thanks to Daiki for checking it.

Perhaps such math abbreviations could be added to anthy-unicode too?
Comment 6 Mamoru TASAKA 2024-08-22 05:26:16 UTC 
@petersen Would you also build fixed libkkc for branched F41?
