Hfst
Revision as of 08:54, 15 October 2009 by 88.112.58.139 (talk) (Sjur: This is all it takes. It works on MacOS X, and hopefully it works on other OS'es too. It is also what is now documented in the README file.)
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)"
$ svn co https://hfst.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/hfst/trunk hfst $ cd hfst/hfst-2.0/ $ autoreconf -i $ ./configure --prefix=/home/fran/local/ $ make $ sudo make install
Prepackaged tarball
Download the latest version from [1], and unzip. Then follow the instructions in the README file, i.e.:
$ cd hfst-2.0/ $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install
Using
$ svn co https://victorio.uit.no/langtech/trunk/st/fao $ cd fao
Troubleshooting

Edit the file hfst/configure.ac and add an extra newline after the final AC_OUTPUT
