Grammar checker compilation

In order to work with grammarcheckers you need to install the grammarchecker tools.

Get the divvun-gramcheck package

There are different commands for Macintosh and Linux (Linux-on-Windows works as Linux here)

The command for Mac

 curl http://apertium.projectjj.com/osx/install-nightly.sh | sudo bash

The command for Linux

TODO: Add command for Linux here

Next steps

Find a place to store the divvun github files, e.g. in

~/git/divvun/

Go to this folder, e.g. with a command like

cd ~/git/divvun/

Then clone the divvun-gramcheck folder from the divvun github site (via https as shown here, or via ssh) and compile and install it on your computer:

 git clone https://github.com/divvun/divvun-gramcheck

 cd divvun-gramcheck

 scripts/get-pugixml-and-build

 sudo make install

Set up and compile the grammarchecker

In $GLANGS/lang-$LANG, do

./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-apertium --enable-syntax --enable-grammarchecker --enable-tokenisers --enable-alignment --enable-reversed-intersect
make
cd tools/grammarcheckers
make dev
