>ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: @windows not defined

it seems like in version 0.5 of Julia they removed the @windows macro (which checks for which operating system you are using) and replaced it with "is_windows()"...

Since you are using Windows, just replace the following code in mkdfa.jl:

mkfa= @windows ? "mkfa.exe" : "mkfa

dfa_minimize= @windows ? "dfa_minimize.exe" : "dfa_minimize"

with

mkfa= "mkfa.exe"

dfa_minimize= "dfa_minimize.exe"

Thank you! It worked.. 

There is an error again that say mkfa.exe could not spawn:

sample.grammar has 3 rules

---

sample.voca has 6 categories and 23 words

generated: sample.term

I updated the path again and check it with echo %PATH%, Julia, Julius, and HTK is in the path but it still won't work.. Do you have any ideas how to solve this?

>ERROR: LoadError: could not spawn `mkfa.exe

did you download Julius and the other prerequisites as shown on the howto instructions on the VoxForge website?

Yes, i already downloaded it... Although when I tested HTK and Julius, i have to be inside in the directory of bin.win32 and bin of HTK and Julius and the test went just fine. But it’s different from Julia, which i can use the software from any directory.. i don’t know if this problem relate with the current problem.. 

> i don’t know if this problem relate with the current problem..

sounds like it might be...

did you update you Window path variable?

it should point to the Julius/HTK and Julia executables and they all should be accessible from any directory

Yes, i already update the path to the directory with the exe file.. But still, i can't run the HVite and Julius from any directory..
