Installing Moses Decoder on Ubuntu

1. Get the source from here https://github.com/moses-smt/mosesdecoder
2. Installing some dependencies

   sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
   sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
   sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev

   ————————
   bzip2 library manual installation

   wget http://www.bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz
   tar xzvf bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz
   cd bzip2-1.0.6/
   
   make
   make install
   cp libbz2.a /usr/lib
   
   make clean
   make -f Makefile-libbz2_so
   cp libbz2.so.* /usr/lib
   ln -sf libbz2.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libbz2.so

3. Extracting

   mkdir -p /usr/local/src/mosesdecoder
   sudo chown ubuntu /usr/local/src/mosesdecoder/
   
   unzip mosesdecoder-master.zip -d /usr/local/src/mosesdecoder/

4. Edit some RandLM header files if required
   ————
   RandLMQuantizer.h

   static const float kFloatErr = 0.00001f;

   to

   static constexpr float kFloatErr = 0.00001f;

   ————-
   RandLM.h

   static const float kNullLogProb = -1000000;
   static const float kUnknownLogProb = 1000000;

   to

   static constexpr float kNullLogProb = -1000000;
   static constexpr float kUnknownLogProb = 1000000;

   ————
   RandLMTypes.h

   #define iterate(c,i) for(typeof(c.begin()) i = c.begin(); i != c.end(); i++)

   to

   #define iterate(c,i) for(__typeof__(c.begin()) i = c.begin(); i != c.end(); i++)

5. Compiling

   ./bjam --prefix=/usr/local/lib/mosesdecoder --with-irstlm=/usr/local/lib/irstlm --with-randlm=/usr/local/lib/randlm -j4 --debug-configuration -d2 >build.log

6. Linking some files
