Question

I'm trying to compile Festival on MingW32, so I can have a Windows binary. I couldn't find the Windows binary on their site. Anyone have one they can post?

If not, here's what I have so far. I did the ./configure and make for it and have the following message:

$ make
config/config:43: ../speech_tools/config/config: No such file or directory

So, I downloaded the speech_tools tar ball and got. Did the ./configure and make to get:

$ make
config/config:156: config/systems/ix86_unknown.mak: No such file or directory
../config/config:156: ../config/systems/ix86_unknown.mak: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `../config/systems/ix86_unknown.mak'.  Stop.
config/rules/modules.mak:133: config/modincludes.inc: No such file or directory
make --no-print-directory -C ./config MADE_FROM_ABOVE=1  MODINCLUDES=1 INCLUDE_EVERYTHING='' modincludes.inc 
../config/config:156: ../config/systems/ix86_unknown.mak: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../config/systems/ix86_unknown.mak'.  Stop.
make: *** [config/modincludes.inc] Error 2

So, I copied config/systems/ix86_CYGWIN32.mak to ix86_unknown.mak and tried again. Now I get this message:

g++ -c -fno-implicit-templates -O3 -Wall -Wno-non-template-friend -Wno-deprecated -DSUPPORT_EDITLINE -I../include slib.cc
In file included from slib.cc:85:

../include/EST_unix.h:54:29: sys/resource.h: No such file or directory
In file included from ../include/EST_String.h:50,
                 from ../include/siod.h:17,
                 from slib.cc:88:

In file included from ../include/EST_TList.h:50,
                 from ../include/EST_string_aux.h:43,
                 from ../include/siod.h:18,
                 from slib.cc:88:

Where do I get sys/wait.h, sys/resource.h and strstream.h? I'd rather not have to try this whole bit in Cygwin and carry around those annoying DLL's. Any advice?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Windows binaries are available here

OTHER TIPS

You'll get further with a full cygwin install instead of just mingwin, but I can't promise success.

I run Ubuntu and remember having Festival available in the Synaptics repository, implying I just had to double click the name, and the thing installed itself with all its dependencies.
If all else fails, you might want to run a VM with ubuntu or dual boot.
