OpenFst - Release 1.2
OpenFst is a library for constructing, combining, optimizing, and
searching weighted finite-state transducers (FSTs).
REQUIREMENTS:
This version is known to work under Linux, MacOS, and Solaris using
g++ (>= 4.1). Expected to work wherever adequate POSIX (dlopen, ssize_t,
basename), c99 (snprintf, strtoll, <stdint.h>), and tr1 (<tr1/ordered_set>,
<tr1/ordered_map>) support are available.
INSTALLATION:
Follow the generic GNU build system instructions in ./INSTALL. We
recommend configuring with =--enable-static=no= for faster
compiles.
Optional features:
--enable-bin Build fst::script and command-line binaries (def: yes)
--enable-compact-fsts Enable all CompactFst classes (def: no)
--enable-const-fsts Enable all ConstFst classes (def: no)
--enable-far Enable FAR (FST Archive) extension (def: no)
--enable-lookahead-fsts Enable LookAheadFst classes (def: no)
--enable-pdt Experimental push-down transducer extensions (def: no)
--with-icu Use ICU to provide unicode support (def: no)
Configuring with --enable-bin=no gives very fast compiles, but
excludes the command line utilities.
Compiling with '-Wall -Wno-sign-compare' under g++ should give no
warnings from this library.
USAGE:
Assuming you've installed under the default /usr/local, the FST
binaries are found on /usr/local/bin. To use in your own program,
include <fst/fstlib.h> and compile with '-I /usr/local/include'.
Link against /usr/local/lib/libfst.so and -ldl. Set your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent) to contain /usr/local/lib. The
linking is, by default, dynamic so that the Fst and Arc type DSO
extensions can be used correctly if desired. Any extensions will
be found under /usr/local/include/fst/extensions and /usr/local/lib/fst.
