FastText Golang Wrapper

Overview

Here's my attempt at wrapping FastText C++ library with Golang CGO.

Requirements

• git
• make
• And other requirements for the FastText library.

Compiling

• Clone the FastText git repository & compile it.

  $ git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText
  # Cloning...
  
  $ cd fastText && make
  # Compiling...

• Clone this repository & copy all the .o from previous compile result into directory inside fastText/obj.

  $ git clone https://github.com/taufik-rama/fasttext-go-wrapper
  # Cloning...
  
  $ mkdir fastText/obj
  
  $ cp /path/to/previous/repo/*.o fastText/obj/

• Compile the C project

  $ cd fastText && make
  # Compiling...

• Build the Go package normally

  $ go build
  # Compiling...
