I have no idea about the stress of Chinese words. You
may confuse with the words in Chinese. You can take
Chinese character as English word while Chinese word
as English phrase. One Chinese character is enough to
has its meaning. Some Chinese characters have more
than one syllable. When they appear in different
"words" they will have different syllable. I added a
default syllable for every character. Syllables for
"words" will be added if they contain non-default
syllable characters.

Can you understand what I have said? I know the
concept may be confusing. Chinese is very different
from English.

By the way, I want to compile eSpeak with Cantonese in
Windows myself, which is convenient to install for
user who need it. I tried to compile with MINGW. I set
"#define PLATFORM_WINDOWS" in speech.h and removed
"-lportaudio -lpthread" in Makefile. It still has
problem.

"unrecognized option `-fvisibility=hidden'" Error
occurs.

How do you compile eSpeak in Windows? Could you give
me some tips? Thank you!
