Compiling HTK for Mac OS X Snow Leopard

01.22.10 Posted in Mac OS X by Patrick

The Hidden Markov Model Toolkit (HTK) is widely used in speech recognition research. Since Ill be doing some multimodal speech recognition soon, I downloaded the HTK and tried to compile it for Snow Leopard. This didnt work right away, and after scraping the bowels of the internet for help, Ive finally managed to get it working. Use the following option to configure the Makefile: ./configure -build=i686-apple-macos No space between the dashes in case you are copying and pasting this. And for one of my machines I had to add an option to the CFLAGS in the Makefile. Open the makefile with your favorite text editor and add the following to CFLAGS: -I/usr/include/malloc Also, dont follow the instructions in the README for testing the installation. Instead, perform the following commands as found on the official HTK site for testing a Mac OS/Linux install. cd HTKDemo mkdir -p hmms/{tmp,hmm.{0,1,2,3}} proto acc test perl runDemo configs/monPlainM1S1.dcf
