Here are some tips for the linguist.

Make an alias to your lang-catalog, e.g. crk

Add this to your .bashrc or .profile:

alias crk="pushd ~/main/langs/crk" 

Open a new terminal window: In any catalogue, write 'crk' ENTER.

./configure

Examples for parameters:

./configure --with-hfst --enable-dicts

How to get a list of parameters:

./configure -h

How to see the parameters which are set:

head config.log

Test that all tags are declared and written correctly

sh devtools/tag_test.sh

Test that lemmas can be generated (also done with make check)

sh test/lemma-check.sh

You can add or remove tests in test/src/morphology/Makefile.am:

GENERATION_TESTS_IN=generate-adjective-lemmas.sh.in  \
                    generate-noun-lemmas.sh.in       \
                    generate-propernoun-lemmas.sh.in \
                    generate-verb-lemmas.sh.in

Run yaml tests (also done with make check)

sh test/yaml-check.sh

Look at paradigm generation

sh devtools/verb_minip.sh '^lemma[:+]'
sh devtools/noun_minip.sh '^lemma[:+]'
sh devtools/prop_minip.sh '^lemma[:+]'
sh devtools/adj_minip.sh '^lemma[:+]'

You can look at the generation of all members of one cont.lex:

sh devtools/verb_minip.sh LAAVU 

You can edit the list of forms in the paradigm files which are mentioned in the scripts, e.g.

P_FILE="test/data/testnounparadigm.txt"

Make tables with paradigms

sh devtools/generate-adj-wordforms.sh
sh devtools/generate-noun-wordforms.sh
sh devtools/generate-prop-wordforms.sh
sh devtools/generate-verb-wordforms.sh

You can edit the list of forms:

morf_codes="+N+Sg+Nom \
            +N+Sg+Gen"

You can edit which cont.lexes to test:

exception_lexicons="(3JESANEH|3PAPAREH|3VANHIMEH)"

You can edit how many lemmas of each cont.lex to test:

lemmacount=2

Run only one yaml-test

Remove all yamltests (check in your local modifications first!):

rm test/src/gt-norm-yamls/*

Get the yaml-file you want to test, e.g.:

svn up test/src/gt-norm-yamls/V-mato_gt-norm.yaml
sh test/yaml-check.sh

Make/update all yaml-tests in one for a certain PoS (and a certain pattern?)

This example is adding all verbs into one file:

head -11 test/src/gt-norm-yamls/V-AI-matow_gt-norm.yaml > test/src/gt-norm-yamls/U-all_gt-norm.yaml
tail +11 test/src/gt-norm-yamls/V* | grep -v "==" >> test/src/gt-norm-yamls/U-all_gt-norm.yaml

This example is adding all nouns with final -y into one file:

head -11 test/src/gt-norm-yamls/N-AN-amisk_gt-norm.yaml > test/src/gt-norm-yamls/A-Ny-all_gt-norm.yaml 
tail +11 test/src/gt-norm-yamls/N*y_gt-norm.yaml | grep -v "==" >>  test/src/gt-norm-yamls/A-Ny-all_gt-norm.yaml

Make a new yaml-file

The example is for the inanimate noun ôtênaw. Use an already functioning yaml-file as a starting point (here N-AN-amiskw_gt-norm.yaml). You still have to do a little editing afterwords, like correcting the docu about the lemma, and making it more readable by adding empty lines. And you must of course correct the output.

head -12 test/src/gt-norm-yamls/N-AN-amisk_gt-norm.yaml\
> test/src/gt-norm-yamls/N-IN-otenaw_gt-norm.yaml

cat test/data/NI-par.txt | sed 's/^/ôtênaw/' | dcrk |\
tr '\t' ':' | sed 's/:/: /' | grep -v '^$' |\
sed 's/^/     /' >> test/src/gt-norm-yamls/N-IN-otenaw_gt-norm.yaml

Comment: The last sed-command should give 5 whitespaces
