Hi all,
I saw that many are willing to run the lab on their own Ubuntu computers. Here are building instructions for HTK (version 3.4.1) that worked for me on Ubuntu 14.04:
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386
./configure --disable-hslab --disable-hlmtools --prefix=/opt/htk
make all
sudo mkdir /opt/htk
sudo make install
Then you will need to add the path to your PATH variable, for example with adding this line
in bash:
export PATH=/opt/htk/bin:$PATH
in tcsh:
setenv PATH=/opt/htk/bin:$PATH
Test if it works by running any of the HTK commands, for example HList
For the lab to work, you will also need to install Wavesurfer with:
apt-get install libsnack-alsa wavesurfer
Finally, if you do the lab on your computer, disregard the command "source config/environment" from the lab instructions
Good luck!
