installation instructions

[arademaker]

Hello,

Are you still working on this project? It is very interesting indeed! Can you provide a general instruction about the installation? I have installed wordnet 3.0 from the Princeton website using:

configure make install

The wordnet was installed in /usr/local/WordNet-3.0 (my system is a MacOS 10.7.3).

I cloned your files to ~/quicklisp/local-projects/cffi-wordnet

I suspect that I have to edit the file cffi.lisp, right? In the lines of cffi.lisp below, one thing that called my attention is that I couldn't fine the file libWN.3.dylib in my system...

;;;SWIG wrapper code ends here (define-foreign-library libwordnet (:unix (:or "/usr/lib/libwordnet.so" "/usr/lib/libwordnet-3.0.so" "/usr/local/WordNet-3.0/lib/libWN.3.dylib")) (t (:default (:or "/usr/lib/libwordnet.so" "/usr/local/WordNet-3.0/lib/libWN.3.dylib"))))

(use-foreign-library libwordnet)

(cl:defconstant DICTDIR "/usr/share/wordnet") (cl:defconstant DEFAULTPATH "/usr/share/wordnet") (cl:defconstant DATAFILE "/usr/share/wordnet/data.%s") (cl:defconstant INDEXFILE "/usr/share/wordnet/index.%s") (cl:defconstant SENSEIDXFILE "/usr/share/wordnet/index.sense") (cl:defconstant KEYIDXFILE "/usr/share/wordnet/index.key") (cl:defconstant REVKEYIDXFILE "/usr/share/wordnet/index.key.rev") (cl:defconstant VRBSENTFILE "/usr/share/wordnet/sents.vrb") (cl:defconstant VRBIDXFILE "/usr/share/wordnet/sentidx.vrb") (cl:defconstant CNTLISTFILE "/usr/share/wordnet/cntlist.rev")

Best, Alexandre

I remember it being very difficult to get a dynamic library to build on MacOS; for some reason the wordnet package does not do this by default. If you go into the lib/ directory in the Wordnet source and use my makefile, you may be able to get it to build. I will check the makefile into the repo for you shortly under contrib/macos/Makefile

[kraison]

OK, I just pushed the Makefile to the repo. Let me know if that builds the dylib properly for you.

Sorry, maybe I am doing something very stupid!!

I moved your Makefile to the source structure of WordNet 3.0:

After that, I executed:

$ make Makefile:249: .deps/libWN_a-binsrch.Po: No such file or directory Makefile:250: .deps/libWN_a-morph.Po: No such file or directory Makefile:251: .deps/libWN_a-search.Po: No such file or directory Makefile:252: .deps/libWN_a-wnglobal.Po: No such file or directory Makefile:253: .deps/libWN_a-wnhelp.Po: No such file or directory Makefile:254: .deps/libWN_a-wnrtl.Po: No such file or directory Makefile:255: .deps/libWN_a-wnutil.Po: No such file or directory make: *\ No rule to make target `.deps/libWN_a-wnutil.Po'. Stop.

Looks like the deps directory is not here!

Thank you.
