Install dependencies, needed to build Apertium

If any package is not installed or downloaded do:

slapt-get --search <package_name>
slapt-get --install <found_package_name>

SVN Checkout

SVN or Apache Subversion is a software versioning and revision control system distributed as free software under the Apache License. There are many language Airs in the trunk of apertium. First we will check the repositories.

svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/lttoolbox
svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/apertium
svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/apertium-lex-tools
svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/apertium-<language-pair>

Change <language-pair> as your requirement for eg. en-es

Set up environment

This is required for proper installation of apertium. It can be added in .bashrc to prevent typing every time you restart.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Compiling

• Change to each directory in order: lttoolbox, apertium, apertium-lex-tools, apertium-<language-pair> using cd

Then in each directory run:

./autogen.sh
make
make install
ldconfig

Finishing up and Testing

• Now, exit root shell:

exit

• To test:

echo "Hello World" | apertium <language-pair>

Slackpkg

This section is an alternative to Slapt-get if it not works for you.

wget http://www.slackpkg.org/stable/slackpkg-2.82.0-noarch-2.tgz
installpkg slackpkg-2.82.0-noarch-2.tgz

• Configure the mirrors by "pico /etc/slackpkg/mirrors"

and commenting the mirrors not required by adding # symbol at starting of line.

• Update the gpg by using "slackpkg update gpg"

• Upgrade using Slackpkg:

slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg upgrade-all
