Installing from the SVN is very similar to installing from source, but you'll have the chance to easily update your FreeLing to the latest development version.
You'll need to install the C++ compiler, the GNU autotools, and a SVN client.
sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf libtool subversion
If you use a distribution different than Debian or Ubuntu, these packages may have different names. Use your package manager to locate and install the appropriate ones.
Follow the same procedure described in section 2.2.2 for this step.
If you want the latest development version, do:
svn checkout http://devel.cpl.upc.edu/freeling/svn/trunk myfreeling(you can replace myfreeling with the directory name of your choice).
Alternatively, you can get any previous release with a command like:
svn checkout http://devel.cpl.upc.edu/freeling/svn/versions/freeling-3.0-alfa1 myfreeling(just replace
3.0-alfa1
with the right version
number). You can see which versions are available by pointing your web
browser to http://devel.cpl.upc.edu/freeling/svn/versions
2.1.
cd myfreeling aclocal; libtoolize; autoconf; automake -a
./configure make sudo make install
If you keep the svn directories, you will be able to update to newer versions at any moment:
cd myfreeling svn update ./configure make sudo make installDepending on what changed in the repository, you may need to issue
aclocal; autoconf; automake -a
after svn update
. You
may also need to issue make distclean
and repeat the process
from ./configure
onwards.
