Phonetisaurus no longer works

[danijel3]

Just a wanted to point out that Phonetisaurus stopped compiling with the newest version of OpenFST. That means that the script ${KALDI_ROOT}/tools/extras/intall_phonetisaurus.sh is no longer functional.

The reason for this is that Phonetisaurus hasn't been updated in 4 years and the last working version of OpenFST at that time was 1.8.0 /1.8.1. I made a PR that makes some fixes and allows it to compile: AdolfVonKleist/Phonetisaurus#89 but I doubt it will get merged into master anytime soon (just as 8 other PRs in the last 4 years).

There are 3 solutions, IMO:

• remove the script altogether
• make a Phonetisaurus fork
• make a note somewhere (perhaps in the script) that it works with OpenFST 1.8.0 - if someone really cares, they can have both versions of OpenFST in the tools directory as the codebase isn't mixed with Kaldi anyway (it's used only in scripts)
