Closed kksharma1618 closed 8 years ago

kksharma1618 commented 8 years ago

Hey,

I will really appreciate if you can provide any help with this issue.

1) Installed https://github.com/cmusphinx/sphinxbase 2) Installed https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx 3) Installed swig 3.0.2 using brew 4) pkgconfig 0.28 is already installed 5) node version is 4.2.4 6) npm version is 2.14.12 7) Ran PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/bin/pkg-config sudo npm install pocketsphinx my pgk-config is at that path

Attaching npm-debug log

npm-debug.log.txt

nshmyrev commented 8 years ago

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/bin/pkg-config sudo npm install pocketsphinx

must be

 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkg-config sudo npm install pocketsphinx

with local/lib instead local/bin.

kksharma1618 commented 8 years ago

Hey @nshmyrev ,

Thanks for the quick reply. I used 

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig sudo npm install pocketsphinx

Failed again. Attached is the debug log. (I also checked. /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig file is there).

npm-debug.log.txt

Here is the command line output:

Please update swig, you need at least 3.0.7.

I have updated readme about that.

Hi,

I've tried simply using install, but I got this warning, then npm exited:

I've also attached the log: npm-debug.log.txt

In terms of setup, I've downloaded, compiled and installed sphinxbase and pocketsphinx, but please note I am using the latest files from sourceforge (not github). The only sphinx related github repo I'm using at the moment is this one.

My folder structure looks like this:

..
├── Language\ Models
├── node-pocketsphinx
├── pocketsphinx-5prealpha
├── pocketsphinx-5prealpha.tar.gz
├── sphinxbase
├── sphinxbase-5prealpha.tar.gz
├── sphinxtrain-5prealpha
└── sphinxtrain-5prealpha.tar.gz

and I've checked swig version:

SWIG Version 3.0.7

Compiled with /usr/bin/clang++ [x86_64-apple-darwin14.4.0]

Configured options: +pcre

I'm fairly new to this, so any hints/tips will be helpful.

Thank you, George

nshmyrev commented 8 years ago

You are trying to run npm install from inside node-pocketsphinx, it can not do because node-pocketsphinx is already the current folder. Inside node-pocketsphinx run node-gyp -v rebuild instead. Or remove node-pocketsphinx and run npm install from other folder.

Thank you for the fast response. I've re-read your message a few times, but unfortunately I haven't fully understood what you meant.

I've tried to use node-gyp -v rebuild:

I have also created a separate folder and cloned sphinx, pocketsphinx and node-pocketsphinx:

├── node-pocketsphinx
├── pocketsphinx
└── sphinxbase

I tried a fresh start here, first compiled and installed sphinxbase, then pocketsphinx, using the the README notes from the repositories.

I didn't understand what you meant by

Or remove node-pocketsphinx and run npm install from other folder.

Which is the other folder ?

I've tried using npm install, this time in this fresh folder and it seems to have finished, but I'm not sure it worked:

nshmyrev commented 8 years ago

From the log it seems you have an issue with node-gyp install, this is a reason of your troubles. The offending line is

gyp: /Users/georgeprofenza/.node-gyp/5.5.0/common.gypi not found (cwd: /Users/georgeprofenza/Downloads/Libraries/c++/sphinx/node-pocketsphinx) while reading includes of binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp

Please check for further details:

orgicus commented 8 years ago

Thanks again for your help.

I'll admit this node-gyp is a bit beyond me at the moment, but I tried multiple suggestions based on the post you've linked to.

At the moment I've tried the first two suggestions (remove ~/.node-gyp files and installing and removing ~/.node-gyp/5.5.0 folder, then downloading common.gypi) but I'm still getting errors.

I started getting some different errors:

I found some stackoverflow notes regarding errors like "Refusing to install PACKAGE_NAME as a dependency of itself" and the answers suggested to rename the node package to something other than the library used. I tried that, setting "name" to "node-pocketsphinx" in package.json and seemed to move on without errors:

The issue is I can't see build/Release/PocketSphinx.node and build/Release/SphinxBase.node and I see a pocketsphinx module in node_modules, which looks like a copy of the main repo (without build files though).

I am getting more confused now. After following the common.gypi fix suggestion, things look ok on the surface:

ls ~/.node-gyp/5.5.0/
common.gypi deps        installVersion  src     tools

pkg-config --cflags --libs sphinxbase
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/sphinxbase -L/usr/local/lib -lsphinxbase -lsphinxad -lpthread -lm -lblas -llapack

How can I compile node-pocket sphinx with this setup ?

I changed build from node-gyp to cmake-js, now better dependency checks and more straightforward compilation process. Check it out
