Revision as of 07:53, 19 August 2008

There a various releases of Ubunutu :

  • Dapper Drake
  • Edgy Eft
  • Feisty Fawn
  • Gutsy Gibbon

Dapper Drake

Several programs that are needed cannot be installed easily on Dapper Drake, because the version available with apt-get are too old. We suggest to install a newer version of Ubuntu as for example Edgy Eft or Feisty Fawn

Edgy Eft

This is guide to install Apertium under Ubuntu Edgy Eft, aka Ubuntu 6.10

Installing by SVN

sudo -s

enter your root password 


apt-get install subversion g++ libxml2 libxml2-dev xsltproc flex automake autoconf libtool libpcre3-dev

Then click yes.

Wait till the packages are downloaded and installed. 


exit


Go to the root of your home directory 

cd

mkdir local
mkdir source
cd source



svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk apertium

Go to lttoolbox directory with 

cd apertium/lttoolbox

Then launch autogen.sh 


./autogen.sh

Launch configure (Replace $USER by your user name) 

./configure --prefix=/home/$USER/local/

Launch make 

make

That last command may takes some minutes. 

make install
 cd .. 
 cd apertium 
./autogen.sh
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/$USER/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/home/$USER/local/

Do not forget to replace (twice) $USER by your Ubuntu user name. 

make
make install
cd ..

You have then to compile the language pairs that you want to use. It is the same procedure for every pair, we would give an example with apertium-fr-es 

cd apertium-fr-es/
sh autogen.sh 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/$USER/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/home/$USER/local/
make

Make a test 

echo "J'ai deux frères" | apertium /home/$USER/apertium/apertium-fr-es fr-es

Replace $USER with your Ubuntu user name.

If you edit the linguistics data, do not forget to type "make" to update.


Installing tarball (tar.gz)

The tarball howto is not finnished yet.


Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143781&package_id=159345 and download the latest version

tar xzvf lttoolbox-2.0.3.tar.gz (or put the name of a newer version) cd lttoolbox-2.0.3/ ./configure sudo su (enter your password) make

Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143781&package_id=157932 and download the latest version (2.0.3 as of June 2007)

tar xzvf apertium-2.0.3.tar.gz (or put the name of a newer version) cd apertium-2.0.3.tar.gz ./configure

Feisty

From Ubuntu's repository

An old version of Apertium is available for Feisty (http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/apertium)


Example: installing apertium and apertium-es-ca sudo apt-get install apertium apertium-es-ca or System -> Administration -> Synaptic -> Search apertium-es-ca -> Install


From SVN

Same as for Edgy

Gutsy Gibbon

There is an apertium version in ubuntu repository and you can do the same like Feisty.
