Hi, Varada.

Unfortunately FEX is not really used within the group at this point; noone I am aware of has any experience trying to compile/run it on MacOSX.

One key issue that we have had trouble with on other platforms is 64- vs. 32-bit architectures; this can affect lex/yacc/bison.  If you have not yet tried it, you can experiment with changing the relevant lines in the Makefile.

Regards,

Mark

Subject: [Illinois-ml-nlp-users] FEX on MacOSX?

Hi, 

I was just wondering if anyone has tried to build FEX on MacOSX. It builds successfully when I add the following code in the Makefile, but I get segmentation fault when I try to run the built binary. 

ifneq (,$(findstring Darwin, $(OSTYPE)))

        YACC = bison -y -d

        DEFINED = -DGETOPT

        LINKFLAGS = -lc -liconv

endif

I am using g++ 4.2.1. I tried several combinations of compiler and link flags without any success. Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you,

Varada
