bw tool in sphinxtrain

[anvita tiwari]

hello
I am building a new langauage model but in between I got stuck because their in one step where we have to collect statistics from the adaptation data This is done using the bw program from SphinxTrain. You should be able to find bw tool in a sphinxtrain installation in a folder /usr/local/libexec/sphinxtrain (or under other prefix on Linux) or in bin\Release (in sphinxtrain directory on Windows).

but when i am running this cmd "cp ../sphinxtrain/bin.i686-pc-linux-gnu/bw ." its giving me a error "no such file ofr directory
and when i am doing (ls -lrt) under my sphinxtrain i am not able to see any bw tool
what do do where can i find this
please reply

I'm not sure why do you want to run this particular command, but tutorial tells you different things, you just need to read and follow it. On Linux you can run

      cp /usr/local/libexec/sphinxtrain/bw .

To understand where sphinxtrain was installed you can run installation again and read the log. That should give you a hint about location of bw library.
