These instructions will help you install Apertium on a system running Mac OS/X.

Requirements

The requirements are a full installation of XCode (http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/) and Macports (http://www.macports.org/install.php). Then install with Macports the following packages:

$ sudo port install autoconf automake expat flex gettext gperf help2man libiconv libtool \
libxml2 libxslt m4 ncurses ncursesw p5-locale-gettext pcre perl5.8  pkgconfig zlib

(Some of them are necessary just because Macports wants it)

You will also need to edit the file ~/.bash_profile and add /opt/local/bin to the PATH variable. This can also be done each time from the command line as follows:

$ export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH

Downloading

$ svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/lttoolbox
$ svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium

Then choose a language package.

Compilation

For each package (i.e., within their directories lttoolbox, etc.), lttoolbox, apertium and a language package, do:

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix /opt/local
...
$ aclocal -I /opt/local/share/aclocal
$ glibtoolize --force
$ aclocal -I /opt/local/share/aclocal
$ automake -a
$ autoconf
$ autoheader
$ automake -a
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local/
$ make
$ sudo make install

Troubleshooting

syntax error near unexpected token

Problem

The configure script cannot find the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro

checking for pcre_compile in -lpcrecpp... yes
./configure: line 19995: syntax error near unexpected token `APERTIUM,'
./configure: line 19995: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(APERTIUM, dnl'
Solution

Run:

$ aclocal -I /opt/local/share/aclocal
$ automake -a
$ autoconf
$ autoheader
$ automake -a
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local
