List Of Defined Automake Conditionals

This is a list of presently defined Automake conditionals in our infrastructure. They can be used to enable / disable build steps such as testing and enabling or disabling build targets depending on the user's configuration.

WANT_MORPHOLOGY

--enable-analysers, default=yes
Used to enable the default set of analysers, which is: analyser-gt-desc.xfst, analyser-gt-norm.xfst and analyser-disamb-gt-desc.hfst

WANT_GENERATION

--enable-generators, default=yes
Used to enable the default set of generators, which is: generator-gt-desc.xfst and generator-gt-norm.xfst

WANT_TRANSCRIPTORS

--enable-transcriptors, default =yes
Used to enable compilation of transcriptors, that is, converters between different types of textual representations, such as dates expressed as text or digits.

WANT_SPELLERS

--enable-spellers, default=no
Used to enable building of spellers in general

WANT_SPELLERAUTOMAT

--enable-spellerautomat, default=no
Used to enable building of the hfst speller automat

WANT_VOIKKO

--enable-voikko, default=no
Used to enable building of the voikko speller = zhfst file

WANT_HUNSPELL

--enable-hunspell, default=no
Used to enable building of Hunspell dic and aff files. Not yet functional since this build is not implemented.

WANT_FST_HYPHENATOR

--enable-fst_hyphenator, default=no
Used to enable building of hyphenating tools. Not functional because it is not implemented yet.

WANT_GRAMCHECK

--enable-grammarchecker, default=no
Used to enable building of grammar checkers. Is only usable in sme, the only language with a grammar checker at the moment.

WANT_DICTIONARIES

--enable-dicts, default=no
Used to enable building of transducers targeted at electronic dictionaries

WANT_OAHPA

--enable-oahpa, default=no
Used to enable building of transducers targeted at Oahpa

WANT_PHONETIC

--enable-phonetic, default=no
Used to enable building of transducers for conversion from text to IPA

WANT_APERTIUM

--enable-apertium, default=no
Used to enable building of transducers and constraint grammar files used for machine translation in Apertium

Example of how to use them:

if WANT_MORPHOLOGY
GT_ANALYSERS_HFST+=analyser-gt-desc.hfst \
				   analyser-gt-norm.hfst \
				   analyser-disamb-gt-desc.hfst
endif # WANT_MORPHOLOGY

This ensures that we build Hfst analysers only if the user has enabled analysers. Analysers are enabled by default, so the usefulness of this is rather the oposite: the user can explicitly disable analysers, e.g. to speed up compilation time when building spellers. In that case, the conditional will make sure that the analysers are not built.
