Sphinx3 instllation problem

[vijayabharadwaj gsr]

I have downloaded sphinx3-0.8 from cmu sphinx site. I want to install it on
windows. Read me says you can install it by clicking sphinx3.dsw. But I could
not find sphinx.dsw in that. Please help me.

The README instructions were updated in trunk. Basically you need to use VS
2008 and load sphinx3.sln file with solution sphinx3.

[Vasily Sliouniaev]

The .sln file is missing from version 0.8, however, it is present in the
currently available nightly build. In addition, VS2008 throws an error when
compiling s3recognizer: symbol M_PI is undefined.

[Vasily Sliouniaev]

In addition the linker produces errors relating to

corpus.c when calling build_directory

and

dict2pid.c when calling E_DEBUGCONT and E_DEBUG

I haven't found code definitions for those in the solution and those are just
some of the build errors, where should I look for the answer?

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

M_PI is defined in math.h, E_DEBUG and E_DEBUGCONT are macros from
sphinxbase/include/err.h

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

This issue should be fixed in trunk now. Must appear in nightly build soon

[Vasily Sliouniaev]

Thanks for your reply. It looks like the project builds ok if I fix the M_PI
problem in release 0.8 and use the .sln file from the current nightly release.

I still don't understand is what the build_directory linker error in the
nightly build is related to.

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

For build_directory you need to have sphinxbase from nightly which I suppose
is not the case. There is placeholder
for build_directory there, but it's still requires some work since win32
version of this function is not implemented

#elif defined(_WIN32)
/* FIXME: Implement this. */
int
build_directory(const char *path)
{
    E_ERROR("build_directory() unimplemented on your platform!\n");
    return -1;
}
