Installation

Hello! I have follow all the steps of the manual but I have the next problem when I do nmake install:

ERROR

Any idea of what could be going on?

Thank you!

what "cmake" command did you use before compiling ?

Note that to build python API, you need to have swig installed

If you don't have a special need to compile it yourself, you can download a precompiled package, which already includes the python API.

Hello Lluis, sorry, I didn't noticed that you answered to me. I was expecting an email notification.

I have replicated the steps that I followed. And, yes, I installed swig. This is the cmake command that I used.

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\Freeling\freeling-win\freeling -DZLIB_ROOT=C:\Freeling\freeling-win\dependencies\zlib -DBOOST_ROOT=C:\Freeling\freeling-win\dependencies\boost -DICU_ROOT=C:\Freeling\freeling-win\dependencies\icu -G "NMake Makefiles" -DSWIG_DIR=C:\Freeling\swigwin-4.0.2 -DSWIG_EXECUTABLE=C:\Freeling\swigwin-4.0.2\swig.exe -DPYTHON3_API=ON

And here the output:

c:\Freeling\src\FreeLing-4.2\build>cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\Freeling\freeling-win\freeling -DZLIB_ROOT=C:\Freeling\freeling-win\dependencies\zlib -DBOOST_ROOT=C:\Freeling\freeling-win\dependencies\boost -DICU_ROOT=C:\Freeling\freeling-win\dependencies\icu -G "NMake Makefiles" -DSWIG_DIR=C:\Freeling\swigwin-4.0.2 -DSWIG_EXECUTABLE=C:\Freeling\swigwin-4.0.2\swig.exe -DPYTHON3_API=ON

I wanted to do it with precomplied package but I saw in the docs this "To be able to call FreeLing from Python or Java, you should have built it from source, using cmake options".

Thank you!
