首先前提是要确保自己安装了g++和libx11

解压HTK-3.4.1.tar.gz

sudo tar xzf HTK-3.4.1.tar.gz

然后：

sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/

出现：

setting
config.status: creating HTKLVRec/Makefile
config.status: WARNING: HTKLVRec/Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: WARNING: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
**************************************************

HTK is now ready to be built.

Type "make all" to build the HTK libraries
and tools.

Then "make install" to install them.

The tools will be installed in /usr/local//bin

Build notes: Language Modelling tools will be
built. HDecode will not be built. You can build
it manually later by running 'make hdecode
install-hdecode'

**************************************************

之后试了几次，都是由于自己的环境的错误给中断了，但是最后用了忽略错误编译成功了。

之后出现：

测试命令：

zhangju@ubuntu:/usr/local/bin$ HInit

USAGE: HInit [options] hmmFile trainFiles...

Option Default

-e f Set convergence factor epsilon 1.0E-4
-i N Set max iterations to N 20
-l s Set segment label to s none
-m N Set min segments needed 3
-n Update hmm (suppress uniform seg) off
-o fn Store new hmm def in fn (name only) outDir/srcfn
-u mvwt Update m)eans v)ars w)ghts t)rans mvwt
-v f Set minimum variance to f 1.0E-2
-w f set mix wt/disc prob floor to f 0.0
-A Print command line arguments off
-B Save HMMs/transforms as binary off
-C cf Set config file to cf default
-D Display configuration variables off
-F fmt Set source data format to fmt as config
-G fmt Set source label format to fmt as config
-H mmf Load HMM macro file mmf
-I mlf Load master label file mlf
-L dir Set input label (or net) dir current
-M dir Dir to write HMM macro files current
-S f Set script file to f none
-T N Set trace flags to N 0
-V Print version information off
-X ext Set input label (or net) file ext lab

出现以上表示安装成功。
下面测试DEMO：

tar xzf HTK-samples-3.4.1.tar.gz
cd samples
cd HTKDemo
mkdir -p hmms/{tmp,hmm.{0,1,2,3}} proto acc test
perl runDemo configs/monPlainM1S1.dcf

如果出现以下显示：

====================== HTK Results Analysis =======================

表示HTK工具包安装并测试通过。

写了两篇关于HTK分别在windows和linux环境下安装和编译的文章，下面可能要继续开始钻研如何使用。希望两篇文章对大家有帮助，欢迎互相讨论。
