Subject: [Moses-support] trouble installing moses on Windows
Hi moses support,
my name is Sai and I am an undergraduate student at the University of
Brighton (UK). My final year project involves using the Moses decoder.
So far the best option for me is to install it on Windows. This is
proving to be a difficult task because I can't seem to find a detailed
document on how to install it on Windows XP.
Here is how I started:
I went to sourceforge and opened the page containing files for the
2007-05-29 release. They're listed below:
moses.2007-05-29.tgz
moses.2007-05-29.zip
moses-cmd.2007-05-29
moses-cmd.2007-05-29.exe
I downloaded the exe and the zip file. Then I tried running the exe. It
said that a configuration file was missing. I assumed I had to unpack
the zip file and read the instructions for building it. After unpacking
I found a BUILD-INSTRUCTIONS file in the main folder. Following the
steps in the manual I went off doing all sorts of library installations
before actually getting to the end of the BUILD-INSTRUCTIONS file where
I found some details on the Windows installation saying:
Tested on 32-bit Windows XP and Vista using Visual Studio 2005.
Again, refer to the old manual
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/s0565741/papers/developers-manual.pdf
The Windows build doesn't use the SRI or IRST language model libraries
as they can't be compiled
under Windows using Visual Studio. Instead, an internal language
model, which behave like SRILM is used,
however, it can only handle up to trigrams.
Binaries for all external libraries needed can be downloaded from
http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=Moses.LibrariesUsed
Only the decoder is developed and tested under Windows. There are
difficulties using the training scripts under Windows, even with Cygwin.
I then read the "old manual" and particularly the sections on Windows. I
understand that mySQL++ is problematic and that a CVS project is
available instead. But where is it??
So in the end according to the "old manual" I have to download the Moses
decoder from svn through a CVS client for windows. Does this mean that I
can't use the four files I found in sourceForge to install Moses?
Please help, Im very confused and time is wasting.
Regards,
Sai
