I'm trying to run some Kaldi examples after I have compiled it on Cygwin, however, when the directory is specified in a file, Cygwin can't follow it. For example, I am trying to run the following in Cygwin terminal:
steps/make_mfcc.sh
This returns:
No such file or directory
This makes sense, since steps is not a directory, but a file with the following content:
../../wsj/s5/steps/
Which leads to steps directory which is what I need, and if I manually point it to the correct place, it works fine, but then breaks when a similar approach to pointing to a directory is used.
I have tried compiling Kaldi on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) and running the same example, and everything worked perfectly, which leads me to believe that it's a Cygwin issue.
Is there a way to make it work as it does on Ubuntu?
PS. I know using Kaldi on Cygwin is not the best option, especially since I'm new to Cygwin, but as far as I'm aware it's the only one which doesn't involve having a Linux VM which I can't do. If there are better ways of using Kaldi on Windows, I'm open to suggestions.
