CMU Sphinx / Forums / Help: building sphinxbase python module under windo

asr2010 - 2012-03-17

I am not able to build and install the sphinxbase python module under windows
(7/64bits)
I tried the snaptshot, truck, and 0.7 and it didn't work.
I have visual studio 2010 and python2.6
I was trying to build the module using the following command:

python setup_win32.py build

but I got the following message "unable to find vcvarsall.bat"

I have installed visual studio 2008 and I got another error from the linker:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\link.exe /DLL

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'sphinxbase.lib'
error: command '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\BIN\link.exe"' failed with exit status 1181

I tried another compiler MinGW32 and I typed the following:

python setup_win32.py build -c mingw32

but it didn't work as well and I got the following error:

c:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -DWIN32=1 -I../include
-I../include/win32 -IC:\Python26\include -IC:\Python26\PC -c sphinxbase.c -o
build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\sphinxba
se.o
cc1.exe: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin'
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

So I need some help about how to install the sphinxbase python module.

It says it failed to load the library from the location specified in a command
line. You need to read the output and put the library in the proper folder.

As i see, there is no sphinxbase.lib in directories, but where can i find it?

I'm new in compiling, so need help.
Thanks.

You can build it using VS2010 as a part of sphinxbase build process. See README in the top folder.

Thats work, thanks.

Now, when i try install pocketsphinx, installer tells, that he cant find "sphinx_config.h".

I find one in \sphinxbase\include\win32
and copy it po pocket directory.

Installing seems to work correct:

    This thread also says that for 2.7 you need to recompile c glue code with cython.

      Cython, yes.
      
      Can you write guide, how to get new .c files
      
      Cython is installed. Reinstall with Pyhton stops without .c, and i cant understand, how to get it.
      
      Sorry for very basic questions.
      
      P.S.
      got it
      
      "cython sphinxbase.pyx"
      
      P.P.S.
      Sphinxbase ok, but pocket get errors:
      
      P.P.P.S.
      got it, copy sphinxbase.pxd in pocket dir.
      
      Import ok now, thanks!

  Does pocketsphinx/python/ps_test.py work for you?
  
  Provide application log to understand at what point the script crashed.
  
  Add additional log messages to source code in order to understand in which exact function it crashes.

shiv - 2013-02-08

I keep getting an ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
when i try to run sb_test.py to test if sphinxbase installed properly on windows
trying to install for python 2.7
My install steps:

1) extracted sphinxbase-0.8.tar.gz renamed it to sphinxbase
2) rebuild all sphinxbase.sln using visual studio 2010
3) changed setup_win32.py to include my build location for the value "library_dirs" for visual studio 2010
4) python setup_win32.py install and it says:

Installed c:\python27\lib\site-packages\sphinxbase-0.6-py2.7-win32.egg
Processing dependencies for SphinxBase==0.6
Finished processing dependencies for SphinxBase==0.6

but when I python sb_test.py i get error:

File "sb_test.py", line 3, in <module>
import sphinxbase
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\sphinxbase.py", line 7, in <module>
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\sphinxbase.py", line 6, in bootstrap
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I have checked my easy-install.pth and it has the value for sphinxbase in there..
I'm kinda stumped so any help would be very much appreciated.

P.S. why does it say sphinxbase 0.6?? shouldnt it be 0.8?

Thanks

Ok I got sb_test.py to work the problem was I was giving setup_win32.py install command instead of the build cmd. so instead I needed to to setup_win32.py build and it worked fine afterwards ...

but now pocketsphinx gives me a importerror:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ps_test.py", line 1, in <module>
import pocketsphinx as ps
ImportError: No module named pocketsphinx

I installed pocketsphinx like i installed sphinxbase built using vs2010 modified setup_win32.py to include the directory for sphinxbase build.. copied sphinxbase.pxd in to pocketsphinx/python folder

import pocketsphinx as ps ImportError: No module named pocketsphinx

It means you still miss binary files, probably you need to make sure that python can find them and all required dlls are present.
