INSTALL.swi

1. You need the very latest version of SWI-Prolog 6, at least a 
version of april 2010 or later.

2. you must use an UTF8 locale setting.

3. you need to set the ALPINO_HOME environment variable to the
directory that contains the Alpino stuff

4. you have to create a file Makefile.defs which should contain
a few Makefile variable definitions. An example is available in
the file Makefile.defs.swi

5. you might need to install a number of other packages

TODO: this list is incomplete

* tcl/tk libraries
* s_fsa utilities from Jan Daciuk
  ** note: this is no longer required, if you are happy to use the
     current *.fsa and *.tpl files. 
* libxml2, libxslt for some of the additional tools
* boost libraries

for s_fsa you need non-default value for the variable CPPFLAGS
in the Makefile!

I have:
CPPFLAGS=-O2 --pedantic -Wall \
  -DFLEXIBLE  \
  -DNUMBERS \
  -DA_TERGO \
  -DSHOW_FILLERS  \
  -DSTOPBIT \
  -DMORE_COMPR \
  -DCASECONV \
  -DRUNON_WORDS \
  -DMORPH_INFIX \
  -DPOOR_MORPH \
  -DCHCLASS \
  -DGUESS_LEXEMES -DGUESS_PREFIX \
  -DGUESS_MMORPH \
  -DLOOSING_RPM

which means that I removed
   -DSORT_ON_FREQ
   -DNEXTBIT   
   -DDUMP_ALL  
   -DGENERALIZE


6. you must ensure that the file swipl-lfr.pl from the SWI Prolog distribution is in
your path. Typically, you need to
    6.1 edit the first line of that file, so that the correct location of SWI prolog is found
    6.2 move the file to a directory in your $PATH

7. from $ALPINO_HOME you run

make realclean
make
make install

That should do it...
