#115 espeak on freeBSD ?

[fred vs]

Hello.
I use freeBSD 10 64 bit and cannot do espeak work.
I try also to compile from src but get compilation errors.

Does it exist a binary of espeak working on freeBSD 64 bit ?
How must i do to compile espeak in freeBSD ?

Thanks.

Hello Jonhatan.

Thanks for fast answer ;-) .

The obvious question is:

What are the compilation errors? =>

[[fred@pcbsd-fred] /usr/home/fred/espeaksrc/src# gmake
g++ -O2 -DUSE_PORTAUDIO -D PATH_ESPEAK_DATA=\"/usr/share/espeak-data\" -Wall -pedantic -I. -c -fno-exceptions speak.cpp
gmake: g++ : commande introuvable
gmake: *** [speak.o] Erreur 127

What audio output library is available on BSD?

Hum, i have install portaudio for freeBSD.

Some remarks :=> I was not able to use espeak from freeBSD-port. (after installing from port, i did not find the espeak nor speak executable.)

freeBSD 64 bit can only do run 32 bit Linux-executables. I have then try to do run espeak-Linux-32-bit but there are some problem with portaudio (the portaudio.so installed on freeBSD is 64 bit and, of course, espeak-Linux-32-bit need a portaudio.so-32 bit.) => i am busy to install a (old) freeBSD 32 bit and will compile portaudio on it. And will try to use that portaudio.so-32-bit with espeak-Linux-32-bit on a freeBSD-64 machine.

So, to resume, espeak will work (i hope) on freeBSD 64 bit only if :

espeak was compiled on freeBSD 64 bit ( and the result is a 64 bit freeBSD executable) +
needed a freeBSD-portaudio.so 64 bit.

espeak was compiled on a Linux 32 bit + Linux-portaudio.so 32 bit.

Hope you see the problem.

PS: Have you try to install espeak on freeBSD 64 bit ? If yes, how did you do it ?

Many thanks and have a perfect summer.

Fred.

Hello.
I have try to run espeak/linux/32bit and libportaudio.so/32bit in freeBSD 64 bit.
With no luck. ;-(

Here error message :

[fred@pcbsd-fred] /usr/home/fred# ./speak_x86
./speak_x86: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libportaudio.so.2: ELF file OS ABI invalid

Doe you have a idea how to solve that (or espeak would not work on freeBSD 64 bit) ?

Thanks
