Apertium on Mac OS X (Local)
This page gives instructions on compiling Apertium on Mac OS/X, it will presume you are installing into a directory called Local
inside your home directory. This is slightly more complicated, but more contained. Please replace spectie
with the name of your user. You can find the name of your user by typing whoami
.
Preparation
$ pwd $ mkdir Local $ mkdir Source
Downloading
$ svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/lttoolbox $ svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium $ curl -O ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.8.tar.gz $ curl -O http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.23.tar.gz $ curl -O ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.7.1.tar.gz
Compiling
First export these environment variables so that binaries and libraries from your local installation are taken before those from the system installation.
$ export PATH=/Users/spectie/Local/bin/:$PATH $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Users/spectie/Local/lib/pkgconfig $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/spectie/Local/lib $ cd Source
libxml
$ cd libxml2-2.7.1 $ ./configure --prefix=/Users/spectie/Local/ $ make $ make install
pkg-config
$ cd pkg-config-0.23 $ ./configure --enable-utf8 --prefix=/Users/spectie/Local/ $ make $ make install
lttoolbox
- Note: This is likely to fail in more than one place, check the troubleshooting info below!
$ cd lttoolbox $ sh autogen.sh --prefix=/Users/spectie/Local/ $ make $ make install
libpcre
$ cd pcre-7.8 $ ./configure --prefix=/Users/spectie/Local/ $ make $ make install
apertium
- Note: This is likely to fail in more than one place, check the troubleshooting info below!
$ cd apertium $ sh autogen.sh --prefix=/Users/spectie/Local/ $ make $ make install
Troubleshooting
Undefined macro #1
- Problem
The autogen.sh
script complains about an undefined macro when encountering the dnl
(comment) string.
configure.ac:112: error: possibly undefined macro: dnl If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation.
- Solution
Run automake -a
then autoconf
, then ./configure --prefix=/Users/spectie/Local/
.
Undefined macro #2
- Problem
$ sh autogen.sh --prefix=/Users/spectie/Local/ - libtoolize. You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'. - aclocal. - autoconf. configure.ac:109: error: possibly undefined macro: dnl If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation.
- Solution
Re-run the autogen.sh
command until it works.
syntax error near unexpected token
- Problem
The configure
script cannot find the PKG_CHECK_MODULES
macro
checking for pkg-config... /Users/spectie/Local/bin//pkg-config ./configure: line 19355: syntax error near unexpected token `LTTOOLBOX,' ./configure: line 19355: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LTTOOLBOX, dnl'
or
checking for gawk... (cached) awk ./configure: line 2183: syntax error near unexpected token `APERTIUM,' ./configure: line 2183: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(APERTIUM, apertium-1.0 >= 1.0.0,'
- Solution
Run:
$ aclocal -I /Users/spectie/Local/share/aclocal $ automake -a $ autoconf $ ./configure --prefix=/Users/spectie/Local/
