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

Note: If you are on a Mac, replace calls to libtoolize with glibtoolize
$ svn co https://hfst.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/hfst/trunk hfst 
$ cd hfst/

$ automake -a 
$ autoconf
$ cd hfst2
$ mkdir build-aux
