Recommendations for compiling with Microsoft Visual C++
|
|
The build procedure has been tested with the freely available
|
|
Visual C++ 8 that can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com as
|
|
"Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition".
|
|
|
|
0) Install the cygwin environment, as described in README.windows-cygwin .
|
|
Cygwin tools are needed to run the build process and generate program
|
|
dependencies.
|
|
|
|
1) SRILM can be set to the cygwin path of the SRILM root directory
|
|
(e.g., /home/username/srilm)
|
|
|
|
2) Make sure environment variables are set to locate MSVC tools and files:
|
|
|
|
PATH should include MSVC_INSTALL_DIR/bin and
|
|
MSVC_INSTALL_DIR/Common7/IDE (for dll search)
|
|
MSVCDIR should be set to MSVC_INSTALL_DIR
|
|
INCLUDE should be set to MSVC_INSTALL_DIR/include
|
|
LIB should be set to MSVC_INSTALL_DIR/lib
|
|
|
|
Note: PATH needs to use cygwin pathname conventions, but MSVCDIR,
|
|
INCLUDE and LIB must use Windows paths. For example:
|
|
|
|
PATH="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/Common7/IDE:$PATH"
|
|
MSVCDIR="c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC"
|
|
INCLUDE="$MSVCDIR\\include"
|
|
LIB="$MSVCDIR\\lib"
|
|
export PATH MSVCDIR INCLUDE LIB
|
|
|
|
could be used in bash given the default installation location of Visual
|
|
C++ 2005 Express Edition under c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you could use the vcvars32.bat script that comes with
|
|
MSVC to set these environment variables.
|
|
|
|
3) Build in a cygwin shell with
|
|
|
|
make MACHINE_TYPE=msvc
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
make MACHINE_TYPE=msvc64
|
|
|
|
to generate 64bit binaries.
|
|
|
|
As with MinGW, some functionality is not supported:
|
|
|
|
- compressed file I/O other than gzip files
|
|
- nbest-optimize and lattice-tool -max-time option
|
|
|
|
Also note that make will try to determine if certain libraries
|
|
are installed on your system and enable the /openmp option if so.
|
|
This means that binaries built with the full Visual Studio compiler
|
|
might not run on systems that have only Visual Studio Express.
|
|
To avoid this disable /openmp by commenting out the corresponding
|
|
line containing "/openmp" in common/Makefile.machine.msvc.
|
|
|
|
4) Run test suite with
|
|
|
|
cd test
|
|
make MACHINE_TYPE=msvc try
|
|
|
