foma is a finite-state toolkit that implements Xerox lexc and xfst. It can be used for building morphologies of natural languages.

Installation

Note: foma requires libreadline to be installed, on Debian or Ubuntu use apt-get install libreadline5-dev

Download the .tar.gz source from the website.
Untar
Run make

If you get an error Makefile:12: *** missing separator. Stop., edit the Makefile and add \ to the end of the lines 11--13.

This will create a binary foma, which should be copied into your PATH.
