the guide is specifically for the last packaged release of Moses, from last August. if you're running the latest dev release of Moses, well, best of luck!
anyone who has strong feelings about documentation languishing behind the state of the dev code should feel heartily empowered to fix it themselves, in their copious free time *grin* updating documentation is a royal pain in the ass; i have no desire to keep patching every three days (and heck, i still have changes to the Win7 guide that i haven't added due to time). i may keep updating the Win7 guide [and i'm writing one for OS X 10.7 as we speak, as the most recent Mac docs i can find are for 10.5 by Josh Schroeder], but it's certainly not going to be any more often than every packaged Moses release. if someone gives me advance notice of the next release, i'll update the doc & include the pdf & .tex in time to get it on github so it can be included with the code. ~amittai ps i note with some satisfaction, however, that someone fixed most of the bugs in giza++ that i illustrated in my Win7 guide, so it seems that the Win7 guide has been useful to the general MT community, no matter how indignant individual members may be about some particular OS :P On 14 March 2012 09:47, Hieu Hoang <[email protected]> wrote: > the last time I checked, IRSTLM also compiles and runs under Cygwin too. > > but Ken is right - someone should take ownership of keeping the > Moses-on-Windows guide up-to-date and patching changes to keep it running on > Windows.
