[developers] QUERY REGARDING GRAMMAR COMPILATION

[Michael Wayne Goodman]

Hello Naman,

I'm adding the DELPH-IN developers list [1] since I'm not a developer for
ACE nor GG, and others might have more information for you. I'd be happy to
answer pyDelphin questions, however, and for that I encourage you to either
file an issue [2] or ask on the developers list.

But I think I can solve your immediate problem.

In order to get GG's DAT file for ACE to use, you'll need to compile it
(see [3]). The repository you are using appears outdated, as it doesn't
have the relevant files for ACE. Try the one in the LOGON repository,
instead: http://svn.emmtee.net/trunk/dfki/gg

Navigate to the gg directory and run the following:

    ace -g ace/config.tdl -G gg.dat

When the command terminates, you should be able to use the gg.dat file with
ACE:

    echo "Das Haus ist kelin." | ace -g gg.dat

I hope that helps you get started.

composition is not same are ERG or JACY, this grammar is available at
http://gg.opendfki.de/ on unpacking the archive a lot of .tdl files come up
