Unable to compile Kaldi version after El Capitan

[maxhawkins]

Since upgrading to El Capitan I haven't been able to install the included version of Kaldi. There's an issue with gcc-fortran. Were you able to get it compiling?

[strob]

Yes, I am running El Capitan and have compiled Kaldi without issue. I'm testing a build now on the latest Kaldi commit, and will update the submodule if that works.

[strob]

One potential difference is that I have Cuda installed. I'm nervous that Cuda is leading to standard_kaldi and mkgraph binaries that will not be portable.

I'm not sure how to interpret this dtruss output:

stat64("/usr/local/cuda/lib/libcublas.7.5.dylib\0", 0x7FFF4FC68D08, 0x1)         = 0 0
open("/usr/local/cuda/lib/libcublas.7.5.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0)      = 3 0

Perhaps the stat64 call means that the binary will avoid cuda if it's not present on the system?

Would you do me a favor and test my standard_kaldi build on your system?

[maxhawkins]

OK, downloading now. Where is your server? The downloads are really slow from the Czech Republic.

[strob]

OK. I'm compiling again with ./configure --static --static-math=yes --static-fst=yes --use-cuda=no and will see how that goes.

[strob]

Can you try this build?

[maxhawkins]

That one works fine. 👍

[strob]

Thanks for testing the binary, and very exciting that it works for you!

I'm going to close this issue, because I think that building Kaldi on El Capitan is not a Gentle issue. There's been activity that suggests attention to this upgrade on the Kaldi side of things, and now Gentle is using the latest version of Kaldi.

[maxhawkins]

OK. I'll test the compilation and reopen if there are any issues.
