Question about norm

[NGUYEN Hong Quang]

Hello, I'm just a beginner of Sphinx. I'm trying to run Sphinx on Windows XP:
- I've installed Cygwin.
- I use the binary version of Sphinx for Windows.
When I try to train acoustic model of RM1, I've had an error of norm:
- test> perl ../sphinxtrain/scripts_pl/setup_SphinxTrain.pl -task rm1
- I copied the contents of etc/ and feat/ of rm1_cepstra.tar.gz to etc/ and feat/ created by setup_SphinxTrain.pl
- test> perl scripts_pl/RunAll.pl
But there is an error:
Phase 2: Flat initialize
FATAL: "init_gau.c", line 155: Unable to open E:\Sphinx_test\rm1\model_param
s\rm1.ci_cont_flatinitial\globalmean for reading
Something failed: (E:/Sphinx_test/rm1/scripts_pl/20.ci_hmm/slave_convg.pl)

I verified the globalmean file but it isn't created.

When I saw in the norm log file:
INFO: cmd_ln.c(559): Parsing command line:
E:\Sphinx_test\rm1\bin\norm.exe \
-accumdir E:/Sphinx_test/rm1/bwaccumdir/rm1_buff_1 \

Current configuration:

-accumdir E:/Sphinx_test/rm1/bwaccumdir/rm1_buff_1,

There was error on previous stages. You need to check all the logs, not just
the last one. The binaries might crash, so it's recommended to recompile
binaries from source using Visual Studio 2010.

I recompile it in Visual Studio 2010 and it's OK.
Thank you very much.
