[SRILM User List] Fw: Problem building SRILM with cygwin

[Andreas Stolcke]

Your output shows:

	SRILMversion.h:1:23: warning: missing terminating " character

so something went wrong in the generation of this file.

Try
	% cd misc/src
	% rm SRILMversion.h
	% make SRILMversion.h

The file should look similar to this:

	#define SRILM_RELEASE "1.6.0-beta"
	#define SRILM_COPYRIGHT "\n\
	This software is subject to the SRILM Community Research License Version\n\
	1.0 (the \"License\"); you may not use this software except in compliance\n\
	with the License. A copy of the License is included in the SRILM root\n\

	\n\
	If this software was obtained under a commercial license agreement with\n\
	SRI then the provisions therein govern the use of the software and the\n\
	above notice does not apply.\n\
	"

Notice the double quotes starting and ending all string values, and the use of backslashes.
If this is not the case for you then your cygwin installation might have a problem.

In that case try fixing the file by hand, then go back to the top-level directory and run make World again.
