Building SRILM on Windows using Visual Studio

Home > Software > SRILM on Windows

The SRI Language Modeling Toolkit contains a bunch of useful utilities for language modeling related research. The standard toolkit only includes build procedures for unix and Windows using Cygwin. I wanted to use the libraries in a Visual Studio project, so here is a solution and project files that builds native Windows libraries and the associated command-line utilities.

NOTE: The Visual Studio 2005 solution works with v1.5.1 of SRILM. The 2008 solution works with SRILM v1.5.8.

Instructions

  • Download and unpack the SRILM toolkit.
  • Unzip the below solution archive to the SRILM root directory.
  • Load the srilm.sln in Visual Studio 2005.
  • Select either Debug or Release in Build->Configuration Manager
  • Right-click on each project in the libs folder, select Build.
  • Build any of the command-line utilities you need.
