LibPostalNet, packaged for nuget

PKLibPostalNet

Purpose

This is a personal nuget package for LibPostalNet, including data files and support for both windows and linux.

If you want to build your own, you will need to download the data files from:

https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal/releases/download/v1.0.0/parser.tar.gz and decompress them into c:\libpostal

Windows users should be able to use 7-zip for this.

Users of this package WILL need to reset the libpostal data directory at runtime. See the LibPostalNet console demonstration program for how to do this. (snippet below)

                libpostal.LibpostalSetupDatadir(dataPath);
                libpostal.LibpostalSetupParserDatadir(dataPath);
                libpostal.LibpostalSetupLanguageClassifierDatadir(dataPath);

How it was built

Windows

See the LibPostal project to set up the environment. Then for the library build:

git clone https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal
cd libpostal
cp -rf windows/* ./
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --datadir=/c --disable-sse2
make -j4
make install

There were issues reported with SSE, so I disabled it.

Linux

See the LibPostal project to set up the environment. Then for the library build:

git clone https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal
cd libpostal
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --datadir=`pwd`/libpostal_data --disable-sse2
make -j4
make install

This has my personal build folder on my workstation in the datadir - you WILL need to set the data dir at runtime There were issues reported with SSE, so I disabled it.

pklibpostalnet's Issues

Help using your DLL from .NET framework 4.7.2 please

Hello,
I would like to try your build from a console application, developed with the .NET framework 4.7.2. The choice of this framework is mandatory.
I have downloaded data and use the NuGet Package "PKLibPostalNET-NoData". In my code, I have added the 3 lines to reference the data folder and tried the "LibPostalParseAddress" function. Everything seems ok until ... the build.
When I build the application, Visual Studio comes into Break Mode because of this exception : "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.'
I have read a lot of things about this error and tried a lot of things to fix it, but without finding the solution.
Could you help me please ?
Thanks a lot,
Emths
