So look in particular at that last line with the "dyld". It's referring to a hard-coded path on some system that I'm not on. Seems like the library path should be relative to the crfsuite binary. Or maybe the whole thing should be statically linked rather than dynamically linked?

That binary should be rebuilt statically.

The binaries for the other platforms should also be linked statically, which should remove the need to include the "lib" and "include" folders in SVN.

For OS X, there is another alternative, since static builds are a bit problematic on OS X:

builder.environment().put("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH", ...path...to...lib...folder...);

I didn't look at the CRFSuiteWrapper in detail yet.

I built a statically linked version of crfsuite 0.12 with liblbfgs 1.10. It's attached to this issue. It should work if you replace the current OS X binary with this one. Please test.

For the record:

• download liblbfgs and configure with --prefix=~/crf, make and install it
• download crfsuite and configure with --prefix=/crf --with-liblbfgs=/crf/, make and install it
• go to crfsuite-0.12/frontend
• gcc -o crfsuite-static *.o ~/crf/lib/libcqdb.a ~/crf/lib/libcrfsuite.a ~/crf/lib/liblbfgs.a

The result should be a statically linked binary called "crfsuite-static".

@steven: I think Martin is a bit busy at the moment and he doesn't have a Mac anyway. Please check if this static binary works for you.

Works like a charm, thanks! I committed it in r3925.

I'm leaving this issue open until we have the linux binaries linked statically as well.

So I just tried this out on a Linux box where I don't have crfsuite installed, and the cleartk-ml-crfsuite tests all pass, meaning the dynamically linked crfsuite seems to work fine on Linux.

So, while we should probably still rebuild the crfsuite binaries statically for Linux, this issue won't block the 1.2 release.
