The dasher package is a zooming predictive text entry system, designed for situations where keyboard input is impractical (for instance, accessibility or PDAs). It is usable with highly limited amounts of physical input while still allowing high rates of text entry.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-6.5 platform.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/dasher
Install dasher by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.30.2 \
--enable-a11y=no \
--with-gnome=no &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix
ORBit-2.0): Setting the prefix using this parameter
instead of with $GNOME_PREFIX will
ensure that the prefix is consistent with the installation
environment and the package will be installed in the correct
location.
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.30.2: This
parameter causes the configuration files to be installed in
/etc/gnome/2.30.2 instead of
$GNOME_PREFIX/etc. Additionally (if
applicable), the parameter ensures that the GConf-2 database is correctly updated.
--enable-a11y=no: Do not
build with support for the GNOME accessibility framework. Remove it
if libgnomeui and at-spi are installed.
--with-gnome=no: Do not
build with GNOME support. Remove it if libgnomeui and gnome-doc-utils are installed.
