Re: [Kaldi-developers] Cmake, Windows portability and pthread

[Daniel P. <dp...@gm...>]

Thomas,

It would be great if you could contribute the changes needed to get Kaldi
to compile under Windows, and figure out how to get the threading to work
under Windows.
By the way, depending what you need it for, you may not even need the
thread library to work.

It won't be possible or really even desirable to get the training scripts
to work under Windows, and for applications, the threading may not even be
necessary.  In fact, I am working right now on online-decoding code that
does everything in a single thread (the requirement of multiple threads in
the current online decoding code leads to unnecessary complexity I think,
and doesn't help from a real-time perspective).
