0) Preliminaries Before building you need to decide what language model toolkit (SRI's or IRST's) you want to use. If you want to use SRI's, you will need to download their source and build it. The SRILM can be downloaded from http://www.speech.sri.com/projects/srilm/download.html . -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Instructions for building with SRILM Build SRILM according to their release instructions. Make sure that you DO NOT override the MACHINE_TYPE variable on the command line when you do so, as this can lead to problems locating the library. ./configure --with-srilm=/path/to/srilm The resulting decoder binary will be moses-cmd/src/moses . -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Instructions for building with IRSTLM Build IRSTLM, and install it to a location of your choice. cd irstlm ./configure --prefix=/path/to/irstlm make make install Build moses: cd .. ./configure --with-irstlm=/path/to/irstlm make The resulting decoder binary will be moses-cmd/src/moses . --------------------------------------------------------------------------
