KenLM has switched to cmake
cmake .
make -j 4
But they recommend building out of tree
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake …
make -j 4
If you only want the query code and do not care about compression (.gz, .bz2, and .xz):
./compile_query_only.sh
Windows:
The windows directory has visual studio files. Note that you need to compile
the kenlm project before build_binary and ngram_query projects.
OSX:
Missing dependencies can be remedied with brew.
brew install cmake boost eigen
Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt install build-essential cmake libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libeigen3-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev
