Not being able to build on a Mac

[raisen]

I am trying to build on a Mac but it's failing with the following:

c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -Wall -O9 -funroll-all-loops -finline -ffast-math -mieee-fp -c param.cpp  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/param.lo
In file included from common.h:76,
                 from param.cpp:28:
./getopt.h:131: error: declaration of C function 'int getopt()' conflicts with
/usr/include/unistd.h:548: error: previous declaration 'int getopt(int, char* const*, const char*)' here

Any ideas on how to solve it?

I have only used it on Linux so far, so unfortunately mac is currently unsupported...
I think it would be great to get it working though; would be interested to hear if you figure out how to solve this.

Hey guys-

I ended up being able to build on Mac (10.7.5) by doing the following:

First, in python/cap/build.sh, remove the -static flag.

Then, instead of untarring the build of TinySVM in the repo, I used the "unofficial fork" at the following GitHub repository:
https://github.com/shogo82148/TinySVM

I then used basically the same steps as are currently in build.sh, except obviously not using the tar:

$ cd hbc/models
$ gcc -O3 labels.c stats.c samplib.c LabeledLDA_infer_stdin.c -o LabeledLDA_infer_stdin.out -lm
$ cd ../../TinySVM
$ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/../ && make && make install
$ cd ../python/cap
$ ./build.sh

As far as I can tell, this seems to work. I don't want to request a commit, though, because I haven't tested removing the -static flag on Linux.

Anyway, hope this helps.

That's great, thanks so much for sharing your experience with this!

Hey! Just wanted to let anyone know there is a much easier way to get it running on a Mac with homebrew.

brew install tinysvm
echo "c++ -o cap_classify cap_classify.cpp -ltinysvm" > python/cap/build.sh
cat test.1k.txt | python python/ner/extractEntities2.py

@aritter, should I submit a PR to modify the build.sh to change configuration automatically?

if [ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]; then
    c++ -o cap_classify cap_classify.cpp -ltinysvm
elif [ "$(expr substr $(uname -s) 1 5)" == "Linux" ]; then
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:`pwd`/../../lib
    c++ -I. -static -L../../lib cap_classify.cpp -o cap_classify -ltinysvm
elif [ "$(expr substr $(uname -s) 1 10)" == "MINGW32_NT" ]; then
    echo "Get a Mac! (or linux)"
fi

P.S This issue can be closed! :)

@AlJohri This looks awesome, but I won't have time to check it out until next week. Anyway, a pull request sounds great.

Thanks!
