INSTALL.txt

NOTE: I have only tested this under Linux (Fedora 13)!



TO BUILD C++ LIBRARY (libcld.a):

It would be nice to have a Makefile (patches welcome!), and to also
build a dynamic library, but for now I made a simple shell script to
build everything:

  source ./build.sh

On Windows, open a command prompt and run this instead:

  ./build.win.cmd

If it succeeds it should print something like this:

  Compile...

  Make libcld.a

  Compile example.cc

  Done!

Then, run the trivial example program:

  ./example

And you should see this output:

  LANG=ENGLISH
  LANG=HINDI





TO BUILD PYTHON BINDINGS:

After building libcld.a (above), just run this:

  python -u setup.py build

NOTE: on OS X Snow Leopard, I had to do this first:

  export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"

otherwise distutils tries to build for PPC arch as well, and then
base/build_config.h is unhappy.

You should see output something like this (varies by platform):

  running build
  running build_ext
  building 'cld' extension
  gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fwrapv -fPIC -I. -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c pycldmodule.cc -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/pycldmodule.o
  pycldmodule.cc: In function ‘void initcld()’:
  pycldmodule.cc:41: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’
  g++ -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/pycldmodule.o -L. -L/usr/lib64 -lcld -lpython2.6 -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/cld.so

Then, install the libary:

  sudo python -u setup.py install

Finally, run the unit test to make sure all is good:

  python -u test.py

It should produce output like this:
