Compilation on MacOS X 10.5 Leopard
Version 1.0 of the OpenFst library cannot be compiled on MacOS X 10.5 Leopard using Apple Xcode version of gcc. The reason is that Apple uses gcc 4.0 and this version of gcc has a bug in the copy constructor of TR1's
unordered_map
. This bug was
fixed almost 4 years ago.
We provide here two different workarounds: 1) using a more recent version of gcc (such as the one provided by
Fink) or 2) manually patching the relevant include file in Apple's gcc setup.
Using gcc 4.2 from Fink
If you have installed the
Fink package manager on your mac, you can use it to install a working version of gcc 4.2.
- Make sure you use the lastest version of Fink (0.9.0) and that
/sw/bin
was added to your PATH
environment variable.
- Install the gcc42 package
$ sudo apt-get install gcc42
- Compile the OpenFst library using this version of
g++
instead of Apple's. In the openfst-1.0
directory, do:
$ CXX=/sw/bin/g++-4 ./configure
$ make -j 4
$ make check
Patching Apple's gcc 4.0 relevant include file
You can also manually change the buggy include file in Apple's setup.
- Download the fixed version of
tr1/hashtable
here . The following assumes that the file was saved to ~/Downloads/hashtable
, replace that by the actual file location (note that your browser might have rename hashtable
to hashtable.txt
).
- (Optional) Check how minimal the change is:
$ diff ~/Downloads/hashtable /usr/include/c++/4.0.0/tr1/hashtable
- Overwrite Apple's version with the patched version and restore file permissions and ownership:
$ sudo cp -f ~/Downloads/hashtable /usr/include/c++/4.0.0/tr1/hashtable
$ sudo chmod 644 /usr/include/c++/4.0.0/tr1/hashtable
$ sudo chown root:wheel /usr/include/c++/4.0.0/tr1/hashtable
