[Espeak-general] Problems building espeak and voice data from source

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,

I am struggling to get a functioning espeak and espeak-data built from source.

Here is what I have done:

===== portaudio.h

Replaced this (copy of portaudio18.h) with:

cat < src/portaudio.h > EOF
#if defined(PORTAUDIO_18)
#    include "portaudio18.h"
#else
#    include "portaudio19.h"
#endif
EOF

This is to support building with portaudio19-dev. It should really be
a make option driven through a configure script, but I have just
focused on getting things building.

===== espeakedit

I need espeakedit in order to compile the voice data, but there does
not appear to be a makefile for this. I have created a
Makefile.espeakedit file based on the one in the
espeakedit-1.43.45.zip file:

cat < src/Makefile.espeakedit > EOF
SRCS=\
    compiledata.cpp compiledict.cpp debug.cpp dictionary.cpp
espeak_command.cpp espeakedit.cpp \
    event.cpp extras.cpp fifo.cpp formantdlg.cpp intonation.cpp
klatt.cpp menus.cpp numbers.cpp \
    options.cpp phonemelist.cpp prosodydisplay.cpp readclause.cpp
setlengths.cpp speak_lib.cpp \
    spect.cpp spectdisplay.cpp spectseq.cpp synthdata.cpp
synthesize.cpp synth_mbrola.cpp \
    translate.cpp transldlg.cpp tr_languages.cpp voicedlg.cpp
voices.cpp vowelchart.cpp wave.cpp \
    wavegen.cpp

OBJS=$(patsubst %.cpp,%.o,$(SRCS))

WX_LIBS = -pthread   -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-2.6
-lwx_gtk2u_html-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.6
-lwx_baseu_xml-2.6 -lwx_baseu_net-2.6 -lwx_baseu-2.6

LIBS=-lstdc++ -lportaudio

CPPFLAGS =  -Wall -g -fexceptions
-I/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.6 -I/usr/include/wx-2.6
-DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS -D__WXGTK__ -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE=1 -DNO_GCC_PRAGMA -D_ESPEAKEDIT

CXXFLAGS = -O2 -g0 -Wall -g -fexceptions
-I/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.6 -I/usr/include/wx-2.6
-DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS -D__WXGTK__ -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE=1 -DNO_GCC_PRAGMA -D_ESPEAKEDIT

all: espeakedit

.cpp.o:
    $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -I. -c -fno-exceptions $<

espeakedit: $(OBJS)
    $(CXX) -o $@ $(OBJS) $(LIBS) $(WX_LIBS)

clean:
    rm -f *.o *~

distclean: clean
    rm -f espeakedit
EOF

I have changed the glob for cpp files to an explicit list, otherwise
it pulls in speak_riscos.cpp and fails to build. The espeakedit files
should be in an espeakedit directory separate from the espeak sources,
have its own Makefile and link against libespeak.a or
libespeak.so.1.43, but I just wanted to get things working.

===== Top-level build

I have created a top-level make file that supports creating espeak,
espeakedit and compile the espeak-data files:

cat < Makefile > EOF
PREFIX=/usr
BINDIR=$(PREFIX)/bin
DATADIR=$(PREFIX)/share/espeak-data

PLATFORM=big_endian

.PHONY: all clean distclean espeak espeakedit espeak-phoneme-data
espeak-data espeak-data-local

##### standard build actions:

all: espeak espeakedit espeak-data-local

install:
    cd src && make DESTDIR=$(DESTDIR) PREFIX=$(PREFIX) install && cd ..
    install -m 755 src/espeakedit $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR)
    cp -prf espeak-data-local/* $(DESTDIR)$(DATADIR)

clean:
    cd src && rm -f *.o *~ && cd ..

distclean: clean
    cd src && rm -f libespeak.a libespeak.so.* speak espeak espeakedit && cd ..
    cd platforms/$(PLATFORM) && rm -f espeak-phoneme-data && cd ../..
    rm -rf espeak-data-local

##### build targets:

espeak:
    cd src && make PREFIX=$(PREFIX) && cd ..

espeakedit:
    cd src && make -f Makefile.espeakedit PREFIX=$(PREFIX) && cd ..

espeak-phoneme-data:
    cd platforms/$(PLATFORM) && make PREFIX=$(PREFIX) && cd ../..

espeak-data: espeakedit
    cp -a espeak-data $(HOME)/espeak-data
    cp -a phsource $(HOME)/espeak-data/phsource
    cp -a dictsource $(HOME)/espeak-data/dictsource
    src/espeakedit --compile

espeak-data-local: espeak-phoneme-data espeak-data
    cp -a $(HOME)/espeak-data espeak-data-local
    platforms/$(PLATFORM)/espeak-phoneme-data espeak-data-local
espeak-data-local espeak-data-local/phondata-manifest
EOF

This is a little rough in places, but (mostly) works.

===== espeak-data

The espeak-data directory is not in the correct layout that espeakedit
--compile recognises.

At the moment, I have copied the phsource and dictsource directories
into the espeak-data directory, but I am getting build errors when
building the voice (make espeak-data using the above makefile) from
the svn sources (commit 244).

espeak-data/phsource/error_log contains the following errors:

===== espeakedit --compile

This is looking in the $HOME directory on Linux, but uses
$ESPEAK_EDIT_DIR on Windows. The espeak program recognises
$ESPEAK_EDIT_DIR, so the getenv search behaviour should match. This
would allow something like:

$ ESPEAK_EDIT_DIR=${PWD}/espeak-data src/espeakedit --compile

so I don't need to copy the espeak-data files to the ${HOME} directory.

===== file permissions

Some of the source files have the permission 755 (are executable).
This does not make sense, so I have run:

$ find -type f -exec chmod 644 '{}' \;

on them.
