SCTK contains the source code, documentation and example data for the following programs: - sclite V2.10 - "Score Lite", - sc_stats V1.3 - sclite's Statistical Significance Comparison tool - rover V0.1 - Recognition Output Voting Error Reduction - asclite V1.11 - Multidimensional alignment replacement for sclite ## SCTK Basic Installation To install compile and install *sctk*, from the main directory type the commands: % make config % make all % make check % make install % make doc The `make config` command executes the script `config.sh` in the `src/sclite` directory and initialized the makefiles in the rest of the src directories. You can specify installation directory by changing the `PREFIX` variable in the `src/makefile` file. By default, all executables will be installed in `bin` of this directory. Be sure to add the installation directory to your `PATH` variable in order to access the programs. The `make all` command will compile all toolkit executables and libraries. Compilation of `rfilter1` may fail if your version of `libC` is very new because it now includes the `strcmp*` family of functions. You can use the libC versions, and avoid compilation complaints, by following the instructions in `src/rfilter1/makefile`. The `make check` will perform self tests on the toolkit. Please report any problems to Jon Fiscus at NIST with any bug reports or comments at the email address . Please include the version number and any other relevant information such as OS, compiler, etc. The `make install` command will copy the executables to `$PREFIX` (see `make config` above.) UNIX-style manual pages and HTML formatted manuals are provided in the `doc` directory. ### Bundled Software This version of SCTK includes the CMU-Cambridge Statistical Language Modeling Toolkit v2. Included in STCK is the complete source code tree and documentation. The toolkit has been included so that SCLITE can use a language model to compute conditional word weights for word-weighted scoring. ### Optional Software/Notes: **sclite**: To use the interactive installation for *sclite*, edit the file `src/sclite/config.sh` at line 36, set the `user_interaction=1` it will ask you during the configuration (`make config`) if you want to use *GNU diff* instead of sclite and CMU-Cambridge SLM for sclite. Those choices are not recommended and not used anymore. *sclite* has the ability to use GNU's `diff` utility as an alternate string alignment method. The installer has the choice whether or not to include this ability in the compiled version. **GNU diff**: If the use of GNU's `diff` is desired, you will need GNU's `diff` utility from their `diffutils` distribution (version 2.7). If you cannot locate this distribution, a copy is available at . When you install `diff`, make sure the executable is installed as `gdiff`, `gnudiff` or `diffgnu` (`config.sh` expects it to be called one of these). *Special Note to SGI owners: When installing GNU's `diff` make sure to call it `gnudiff` or `diffgnu`. If you use `gdiff` the executable name may be overshadowed by a pre-existing executable.* **utf\_filt**: `utf_filt` is using SGML external software and modules like SGMLS perl module and `nsgmls` program which have been updated and continued: OpenSP (). Version v1.5.2 of OpenSP have been tested and working with the current version of `utf_filt`. *Special Note to Cygwin users:* it has been reported that compilation of `rfilter1` can fail in some case, please read the OPTIONS part of the `rfilter1/makefile` and adapt accordingly before retrying compilation. **64 bits Compilation**: With big alignments, sctk needs to be compiled in 64 bits. By default, the C/C++ software are compiled in 32 bits with the options (`-Os`) but can be compiled in 64 bits. To do so, `-m64` is added to the CFLAGS variable in `src/asclite/core/makefile`, `src/asclite/test/makefile`, `src/rfilter1/makefile` and `src/sclite/makefile`. Example of `CFLAGS` for OSX 10.4+: `-fast -m64 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc64` ## Known to compile on: The distribution was initially written in ANSI C on a SUN Workstation. To date, the code has been successfully compiled and tested on the following platforms: Systems | Version ------------------------------------------ |--------------------------- SUN SunOS 4.1.4 using gcc | SUN Solaris SunOS 5.4 using cc | SUN Solaris SunOS 5.5 using gcc | 1.0 - 1.2 SGI IRIX 5.3 using cc | SGI IRIX 4.0.3H using gcc | HP 735 using gcc | HP using "cc" | 1.0 - 1.2 DEC Alpha running DEC OSF/1 V2.0 "cc -std1" | DEC Alpha running DEC OSF/1 V2.0 "gcc" | 1.1 IBM Powerstation running AIX V3.2 using cc | 1.0 IBM Powerstation running AIX V3.2 using gcc [*] | 1.0 Linux Version 2.0.33 | 1.0 - 1.2 Cygwin | 1.3 - 2.0B2 Linux Version 2.2.17 | 1.3 - 2.0B2 Linux Version 2.4.20-20-9 [**] | 1.3 - 2.1.7 Linux Version 2.6.19.fc5 | 2.2.0 - 2.2.4 Linux Version 2.6.9-5.EL (gcc 3.4.6-3) | 2.2.0 - 2.2.4 Darwin Version 7.4.0 | 1.3 Darwin Version 8.5.0 (gcc v4.0.1 build 5367) | 2.1.2 - 2.3-rc1 Darwin Version 8.11.0 (gcc v4.0.1 build 5367) | 2.3-rc2 - 2.4.0 Darwin Version 9.6.0 (gcc v4.0.1 build 5490) | 2.3.6 - 2.4.0 RedHat Fedora 9 (gcc v4.3.0-8) | 2.3.9 - 2.4.0 Darwin Version 10.8.0 (gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) | 2.4.2 - 2.4.8 [\*] compiled with warning messages, but successful self test [\*\*] compiled and ran, but test6, which uses GNU's diff for alignment fails. The use of DIFF for alignment is rarely used and the failure can be safely ignored. ## Contact If you have questions, please address them to Jonathan Fiscus at ## License See LICENSE.md for details or
