Windows build

[mohsenrbb]

Hi, I want to build this package for windows. I'm using visual studio 2013 but when I compile this package I got this erros

    bcd.c
    c:\users\m-r\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-rbuqyz8g\libwapiti\cwapiti\src\model.h(33) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/time.h': No such file or directory
    error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\\VC\\BIN\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

This answer said that 'sys/time.h' not supported on windows. what can I do for fixing this problem?

Can you try a gcc compiler?

[mohsenrbb]

yes, I can. which gcc compiler? which options I must use?

[kermitt2]

<sys/times.h> is for POSIX system only.

On Windows you can try #include <time.h>

Or if the non standard functions are used have a look here

[ansdma]

I don't have access to a win computer right now but maybe you can try installing gcc with Cygwin. This link might be of help.

@kermitt2 it is still failed after I changed to #include <time.h> with MSVC12 compiler. It is appreciated if someone can make it compatible with MSVC compiler.

I did replace <sys/times.h> with #include <time.h> as @kermitt2 said. but I receive following error:

I have extracted the library in D:\MYNAME\Libraries\libwapiti-0.2.1 What can I do?

[wmac]

Any updates to this problem? Did anyone have success compiling Wapiti on windows?

[kermitt2]

hello @wmac ! Have you looked at @boumenot fork? https://github.com/boumenot/Wapiti We're using it in GROBID and it runs well on Windows.
