I'm trying to install sphinxbase and pocketsphinx on Debian Jessie as detailed in this tutorial but running make check during the installation of sphinxbase is failing; I think this is leading to my inability to install pocketsphinx later. When I check the appropriate log, it reveals the source of the error:

I poked around cmd_ln.c a little, and it looks like the offending line is in a win32-related #ifndef, which makes it possibly irrelevant in this situation? I'm not sure.

Has anyone else had this problem or can anyone else shed some light on the subject for me?

  • to start with, the base directory (which you were instructed to start at via a cd /usr/src was not done – user3629249 Nov 30 '14 at 09:24
  • make check is expected to fail for now, you can proceed without that. – Nikolay Shmyrev Nov 30 '14 at 11:43
  • @NikolayShmyrev Alright. Perhaps the error is in Pocketsphinx then; it's throwing a "too few arguments" error when compiling. – Kienan Knight-Boehm Nov 30 '14 at 19:31
  • Please provide more information about error (the log). Most likely you didn't install sphinxbase properly or you have different sphinxbase installations (one from repository probably). Overall, SO is for software development, if you have troubles to install software, it's better to use cmusphinx forums on sourceforge. – Nikolay Shmyrev Nov 30 '14 at 21:12
  • Good point, will do. Thanks for the help. – Kienan Knight-Boehm Nov 30 '14 at 22:59

So it turns out that if I use the latest codebase hosted on CMU's git repo and use the instructions provided by them for installation, everything goes perfectly smoothly.

Go figure.

Thank you for all the help!
