HTK Installation: missing separator error


When I tried to install HTK into my lubuntu machine, the following message are shown. Here, I wrote the way how I solved this issue.

Envirionment

  • HTK 3.4.1
  • Ubuntu 15.04

Solution

Open HLMTools/Makefile and go to line 77. The line is like below.

Attention

It is “HLMTools/Makefile, not “HTMTools/Makefile” or root “Makefile“.

And change the heading spaces to one tab.

Makefile

Makefile doesn’t accept space indentation, only accept tab indentation. And indented line is recognized as command.
