Installing Apertium on Slackware

This Guide is for Latest Slackware 14.1

• Change user to root and Navigate to other directory:

su
cd ~/Downloads

Enter password(if required).

Install Slapt-get

• For i386

wget http://software.jaos.org/slackpacks/14.1/slapt-get/slapt-get-0.10.2r-i386-1.tgz

• For x86_64

wget http://software.jaos.org/slackpacks/14.1-x86_64/slapt-get/slapt-get-0.10.2r-x86_64-1.tgz

Assuming x86_64:

• Install the Package

installpkg slapt-get-0.10.2r-x86_64-1.tgz

• Upgrade using Slapt-get:

slapt-get upgrade

Install dependencies, needed to build Apertium

• Install can be done with Slackpkg as alternative if slapt-get not works

slapt-get --install make gcc linux-api-headers libxml2-devel libxslt-dev subversion pkg-config automake flex libtool svn

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
