[Mosesdecoder-commits] Moses training on Cygwin

[Karthik R. <t-k...@mi...>]

Hi all,

I've been trying to run the moses training perl script on windows using Cyg=
win. After tweaking things here and there, I was able to make the script st=
art running and reach till stage 3. At stage 3, it exits saying
"
Cannot open /dev/stdin
Exit code: 1
Can't generate symmetrised alignment file
"

Now Cygwin as such doesn't have a /dev folder. I tried to get around this b=
y creating a new folder named dev in the root folder and then creating a sy=
mlink named stdin inside the dev folder. So, I now have the symlinks fd->/p=
roc/self/fd and stdin -> fd/0 (a hint I looked up from one of the Cygwin fo=
rums). But this is still not able to solve the problem. Would be happy to h=
ear any suggestions.

Thanks,
Karthik
