If you are on a 64 bit Mac then use the following command to configure:
LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sphinx $ make $ sudo make install
Next, run the make command:
$ make
Finally, run the following command to complete your configuration:
$ sudo make install
What just happened?
We downloaded the Sphinx source and extracted it using the tar command. We then configured Sphinx and built it using the make command. The options to configure are the same as we used while installing Sphinx in Linux.
The only notable difference between installation on Linux and Mac is that if your Mac is 64 bit, your configure command is changed slightly as given above.
Other supported systems
Above we learned how to install Sphinx on Linux, Windows, and Mac. However, these are not the only systems on which Sphinx can be installed. Sphinx is also supported on the following systems:
FreeBSD 4.x, 5.x, 6.x
NetBSD 1.6, 3.0
Solaris 9, 11
Note
Installation procedure for the above mentioned systems is more or less similar to how it is done on a Linux system.
