Moses Support Digest: compiling on Mac

[Moses-support] compiling on Mac

I have a doubt about moses.

when I try to compile with make on Mac (Snow Leopard or Leopard), it gives me strange libtool errors (see below). It’s only recently been doing this so might be caused by software update. Its a clean install of OSX so there shouldn’t be resource problems. And it compile fine with xcode.

error:

Re: [Moses-support] compiling on Mac

Dear Hieu

The only trouble I had compiling on a Mac was I needed to install a recent version of automake. I note the doc [1] says

For OS X versions 10.4 and lower, you need to upgrade aclocal and
automake to at least version 1.9 (1.6 is the default in 10.4) and
set the variables ACLOCAL and AUTOMAKE in ./regenerate-makefiles.sh.

I was running 10.5 or 6 and I had to upgrade [2].

Best wishes

Ivan

Re: [Moses-support] compiling on Mac

ah, i found the problem & solution. (libtool on mac) != (libtool on linux)

have to install gnu libtool, then rename
libtoolize
in
*regenerate-makefiles.sh*
to
glibtoolize

command line is sooo much fun
