Error finding kaldi files.

[dhuv]

When I run install.sh on Linux, it eventually stops at this error.

Makefile:5: kaldi/src/kaldi.mk: No such file or directory
Not building with cuda!!!
make: *** No rule to make target 'kaldi/src/kaldi.mk'. Stop.

the ext/kaldi/src direct has a bunch of other things but is indeed missing kaldi.mk file.

Hi, I'm also meet this issue, later, I try to build step by step follow commands in install.sh and I found this two lines cause the problem.

gentle/ext/install_kaldi.sh

Line 5 in 893e09b

make clean

gentle/ext/install_kaldi.sh

Line 9 in 893e09b

make clean

When I skip these two commands (in clean build), it works...

The problem I ran into here were 2 things.

1. OpenFST (Change the link in gentle/ext/kaldi/tools/Makefile to be www.openfst.org instead of openfst.cs.nyu.edu)
2. OpenBLAS (apt-get install libopenblas-dev libopenblas-base, then "./configure --openblas-root=/usr")

These problem are in the Kaldi repo so I will request changes to be made there.

Looks like these changes were indeed fixed in Kaldi - but the commit in the submodule of this project is out of date with those fixes. Is it possible to get a commit bump in the kaldi submodule?

Build kaldi need package gfortran
And I use command "sudo apt install gfortran"
then i have kaldi.mk file

Encounted the same error but none of the above works.
I chose to install kaldi following kaldi's installation guid and it worked. Here is the procedure, you should first execute ./install.sh in gentle root and see the error, then go through steps below:

1. cd ext/kaldi/tools
2. sudo extras/check_denpendicies.sh: Check dependencies. Refer to INSTALL in this directory for details.
3. sudo make clean: Follow gentle install_kaldi.sh guide.
4. sudo make: Follow kaldi installation guide.
5. sudo extras/install_openblas.sh: Follow gentle install_kaldi.sh. I executed sudo apt-get install python because I got the error: extras/install_openblas.sh: line 27: python: command not found.
6. cd ../src
7. sudo ./configure --static --static-math=yes --static-fst=yes --use-cuda=no --openblas-root=../tools/OpenBLAS/install: Follow gentle install_kaldi.sh guide.
8. sudo make depend -j 8: Follow kaldi installation guide. Refer to INSTALL in this directory for details.
9. sudo make -j 8: Follow kaldi installation guide.
10. cd ../../..: Go back to gentle root.
11. sudo ./install_models.sh: Follow gentle install.sh guide.
12. cd ext
13. sudo make depend: Follow gentle install.sh guide.
14. sudo make: Follow gentle install.sh guide. The installation of gentle should have finished at this step.
15. cd ../..: Back to project root.

Just in case someone else runs into the same error.
