GiellaLT provides an infrastructure for rule-based language technology aimed at minority and indigenous languages, and streamlines building anything from keyboards to speech technology. Read more about Why. See also How to get started, and our Privacy document.
The Makefile is used to compile the xfst and aspell source files, i.e.
to make the programs. It is put to use by (being in gt/) writing the
command make. Makefile takes target parameter from command line, that
is GTLANG=<lang, for example (compiling the sme parser)
make GTLANG=sme. Makefiles in general are documented in introductions
to the program make, and the format of the makefiles used in this
project is found in Appendix C of the Beesley and Karttunen book. The
makefiles for the other languages follow the same layout, but they are
simpler.
The makefile contains variables defining tools and files to be used in compiling the programs. In the beginning of makefile are commonly used tools and files, and after those there are language specific variables.
The rest of the makefile is documented in sme makefile.
Common scripts to all languages are in gt/common/src/, and binaries of
these scripts are in gt/common/bin/.
