While starting to try Jasper, I've decided to go with Julius.  I've gotten stuck installing on ArchLinux, where the makeHTK.sh comes in..

[]$ sh makeHTK.sh 
make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'.  Stop.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'.  Stop.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'.  Stop.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
***HTK make completed***

I then edited the script in hopes it was a simple fix to point make towards these `Makefile.in`s

make -f Makefile.in clean
make -f Makefile.in

but that yielded different subsequent errors.. thoughts?

This might help - from the VoxForge Tutorial:

If you get the following error

you need to fix a minor bug in an HTK Makefile

$ gedit /home/username/voxforge/bin/htk/HLMTools/Makefile

find line 77

and replace the leading spaces with a tab (make sure your editor acutally puts in a tab character), and re-run make.

I was linked to a certain set of instructions to install, but NOW I find there are in fact two pages with instructions.. and they differ.  Anyone know why?


The initial instructions I tried here, didn't work (v3.2.1) :

http://www.voxforge.org/home/dev/acousticmodels/linux/adapt/htkjulius/download-htk

These second instructions are successfully building (v3.4.1)

http://www.voxforge.org/home/dev/acousticmodels/linux/create/htkjulius/tutorial/download 

Can someone figure out how to cleanup the site and make it a bit clearer on how to get started?

From the VoxForge develop page:

• Create acoustic model & run simple dialog manager:
  • How-to - using a script
  • Tutorial - step-by-step (with explanations)
    
• Adapt Speaker Independent Acoustic Model to Your Voice
• Testing Your Acoustic Model with HTK & Julius

So 3.4.1 is the latest then?

Can those old instructions be moved/cleared up then?  They're making it confusing.  Secondly I see a new download link to getting started as well.

First download link I used was to a UK based URL,  second one is http://www.repository.voxforge1.org/downloads/Main/Tags/Releases/0.9.0/Julius-4.3.1-Quickstart-Linux_(0.9.0).tgz

I will retry the instructions with this new tar file, but I'd reiterate a request that the instructions be cleaned up, and all old instructions/links to binaries be deprecated.

Thank you,

>Can those old instructions be moved/cleared up then? 

one set is for *training* an acoustic model from scratch with HTK. 

The second set is for *adapting* a pre-existing acoustic model to your voice.

As it states on the page pointed to by the link:

My makefile looked a little different :

SUBDIRS = $(HTKLIB) $(HLMLIB) $(HTKTOOLS) $(HLMTOOLS) $(LVREC) $(BOOK)
ACLOCAL_M4 = $(top_srcdir)/aclocal.m4
mkinstalldirs = $(SHELL) $(top_srcdir)/mkinstalldirs
CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES =

I had the exact same error as you in the config.log.

Any clue where to hit the tab button?

After the _FILES=?

And than rerun make?
