I’m posting this in the hopes that I can solve another persons’s problem, as it took me longer to resolve than it should have.

Most of this is drawn from the CMU Sphinx iOS Demo repo: https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx-ios-demo

This is going to be the first post in a short series about getting the CMU Sphinx stack up and running both on OS X and then subsequently on iOS. This first post is just going to detail getting the OS X setup sorted out. I’m working on Yosemite, but it should also work with Mountain Lion and Mavericks. The github repo linked below has some notes on OS X verision compatibility if you run into any issues.
