RE: compiling outloud under debian sid

Hi all,

Thanks to Tim’s help and some poking around I have now managed to get the atclei.so to appear. It appears that under debian you need to not use libtool and just execute the commands by hand with the addition of –shared to the linking step.

Now that that is all working I’m having responsiveness issues with outloud. I am running this inside a vm under a mac.

For some reason there is a significant delay when asking speech to stop. It also appears to have some relationship to the length of the text sent to the tts.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this sort of behavior. I am currently not using a .asoundrc file. I can also report that jaws in my windows xp vm runs very snappy as does orca with espeak.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bart

Subject: compiling outloud under debian sid

Hi,

It appears that tcl8.3 has gone from debian sid.

I am having some issues trying to get outloud to compile.

I have tried using the makefile.8.4 and adjusted the locations of the include files to be tcl8.4/tcl.h.

For some reason I am getting errors when trying to compile langswitch.cpp. I don’t fully understand what is going on here and was wondering if someone else has seen this issue?

The error is:

make -f makefile.tcl84

libtool --mode=compile g++ -g -O2 -fPIC -DPIC -ansi -Wall -I/usr/include/tcl8.4 -c langswitch.cpp

libtool: compile: g++ -g -O2 -fPIC -DPIC -ansi -Wall -I/usr/include/tcl8.4 -c langswitch.cpp -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/langswitch.o
