`cdec` is a research platform for machine translation and similar structured prediction problems.
## System requirements
- A Linux or Mac OS X system
- A C++ compiler implementing the [C++-11 standard](http://www.stroustrup.com/C++11FAQ.html) <font color="red"><b>(NEW)</b></font>
- Unfortunately, many systems have compilers that predate C++-11 support.
- You may need to build your own C++ compiler or upgrade your operating system.
- [Boost C++ libraries (version 1.44 or later)](http://www.boost.org/)
- If you build your own boost, you _must install it_ using `bjam install`.
- Older versions of Boost _may_ work, but problems have been reported with command line option parsing on some platforms with older versions.
- [GNU Flex](http://flex.sourceforge.net/)
## Building from a downloaded archive
Instructions:
./configure
make
./tests/run-system-tests.pl
## Building from a git clone
In addition to the standard `cdec` third party requirements, you will additionally need the following software:
- [Autoconf / Automake / Libtool](http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
- Older versions of GNU autotools may not work properly.
Instructions:
autoreconf -ifv
./configure
make
./tests/run-system-tests.pl
