Hfst
Revision as of 08:14, 15 October 2009 by 88.112.58.139 (talk) (Sjur: Updating the compilation instructions.)
hfst is the Helsinki finite-state toolkit. This is formalism-compatible with both lexc and twolc, so, kind of like foma is to xfst.
Prerequisites
- automake, autoconf, libtool
Compiling
Subversion checkout
- "MacOS X note: you need XCode installed on your Mac. It came with your computer, and can be downloaded from Apple (registration required)"
- "MacOS X bug: presently there is a bug that prevents autoconf to do its job in hfst-lexc: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT & AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION"

Troubleshooting
- INTERNAL ERROR: recursive push_string!
