README for JKimmo: A Java Interface of PC-KIMMO morphological analyzer


Abstract

	This README describes how to use JKimmo, a Java interface for 
        PC-KIMMO, the morphological analyzer provided by Summer Institute 
        of Linguistics.

Introduction

        JKimmo is a GUI interface for PC-KIMMO. PC-KIMMO is a 
        two-level processor for morphological analysis. PC-KIMMO was 
        developed using C and consequently doesn't support Unicode. 
        JKimmo will give the PCKIMMO user the facility to use Unicode
        with the help of a transliteration file. JKimmo is therefore an
        interface of mutilingual morphological analysis using the existing
        PC-KIMMO library. PC-KIMMO library is available at the URL
       `http://www.sil.org/pckimmo/v2'.

Requirements

        1. An UNIX-like operating system. We use Fedora Core 
        GNU/Linux systems. 

	2. JDK version 1.4.2_01 or later.

	3. The PC-KIMMO library, available at the URL`http://www.sil.org/pckimmo/v2'.

	4. GNU make (other make's tend not to work). Check the
	version of your make with "make --version"; if it does not reply
	with "GNU Make version x.y.z", then it is not GNU make.
	
	5. Bangla fonts available at 'http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bangla-HOWTO/usersguide.html#fonts'

	JKimmo hasn't been tested on Windows. Anyone is welcome to make a 
	workable version for Windows 

Compiling the JKimmo Source
        1. Place JKimmo directory in the parent directory of PC-KIMMO libbrary
        If you have Ant
           2. Type "ant run" to run Jkimmo
        If not
           2. Compile all java sources
           3. Make the native code: just type make
           4. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.)
           5. Type "java JKimmo" at the prompt

Using JKimmo Binary and jar

       1. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
       2. Run the Jkimmo.jar (java -jar Jkimmo.jar)

Getting started with JKimmo

	Here are the instructions for trying out JKimmo with Bengali support, a
        PC-KIMMO description of Bengali morphology (only rules). The Bangla rule file 
        is in the jkimmo/test directory.

        At first, load the rule file by clicking rules -> load button. Type the
        input text on input text area then click the generate button. The result
        will be displayed in the result area.

Please send any questions, bug report and feedback to:
