Recipe: Building PyStemmer on Windows – fixed!
Posted on January 26th, 2011 by Phil
So I tried to build pyStemmer 1.1.0 for Python 2.7 on Windows and it did not work out of the box. On closer examination I found out that pyStemmer’s setup.py is flawed on line 24:
... and os.path.split(line.strip())[0] in library_core_dirs] ...
did not find all necessary c files for the language stemmers. This is due to os.path.split
not being able to strip the “\” at the end of each entry in mkinc_utf8.mak
. This can be fixed easily by changing this line to the following:
... and os.path.split(line.split()[0].strip())[0] in library_core_dirs] ...
HTH.
Thanks, it helped me. I too faced the same issue
Thanks Phill, this saved me from having to go into the code and finding the problem. As an update to our post here I would like to add: I found the problem to still occurr with Python 2.7 and PyStemmer 1.2.0 You solution corrects the problem in this case also
