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

[s a]

Thanks, the problem was that in the first line#define SRILM_RELEASE "1.5.12"the ending quotes were on the next lineI fixed it manually and ran make world and the build was thankfully error free.Thanks.

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\

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.
