I haven't tried getting Apertium to run natively on Windows (didn't want to deal with that headache xD), but I do have it running inside Cygwin. The easiest way to get it running is to dump it inside your Cygwin home directory (which would typically be <Cygwin path>\home\<Cygwin username>) and run it from there inside the Cygwin environment (the Cygwin bash shell). The Cygwin username is typically the same as your Windows username.
If you want, you could also brave mounting the existing location as a folder inside your Cygwin environment (see http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames ) for more information about that. However, I think just moving the folder would be easier. A third option is to access it via the /cygdrive/ mount, which allows you to access your entire Windows filesystem through it. However, I ran into some issues when trying to access the files that way, IIRC. I don't remember exactly what they were, but I do seem to remember that they had to do with how the /cygdrive/ mount is defined and handled, and that's why I ended up mounting my Apertium folder into a folder under my home directory. I just did a sparse checkout from SVN, and then compiled from source in the Cygwin environment. Following these instructions worked pretty well for me: http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Apertium_on_Windows#Building_under_Cygwin Hope this helps! ^^ -- Stephen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ Apertium-stuff mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/apertium-stuff
