Hi I'm having difficulties with getting gnome-speech to accept my installation of freetts.
I followed the instruction for access-bridge support with gnome-speech and the configure didn't see the freetts. So I specified it: ./configure --with-jab-dir=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0`/share/jar --with-freetts-dir=/opt/freetts/lib/ I tried it with the ending slash and without the slash but it just won't build with freetts support. Gnome-speech will build without freetts support without any problem. I tried capturing the error with "make >error_log.txt" but that didn't capture the errors. Here's what I could copy from the screen: org/GNOME/Speech/FreeTTSSynthesisDriver.java:219: cannot find symbol symbol : method tie() location: class org.GNOME.Speech.FreeTTSSpeaker speaker = SpeakerHelper.narrow ((new FreeTTSSpeaker (this, voices[i])).tie()); ^ org/GNOME/Speech/FreeTTSSynthesisDriver.java:230: cannot find symbol symbol : variable AccessUtil location: class org.GNOME.Speech.FreeTTSSynthesisDriver AccessUtil.getORB().run(); ^ org/GNOME/Speech/FreeTTSSynthesisDriver.java:303: cannot access org.GNOME.Bonobo.Unknown file org/GNOME/Bonobo/Unknown.class not found current.s.getCallback()._notify (speech_callback_type.speech_callback_speech_started, ^ 30 errors make[5]: *** [org/GNOME/Speech/*.class] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gnome-speech-0.3.7/drivers/freetts/java' make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gnome-speech-0.3.7/drivers/freetts/java' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gnome-speech-0.3.7/drivers/freetts' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gnome-speech-0.3.7/drivers' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gnome-speech-0.3.7' make: *** [all] Error 2 I can build without freetts support but I've built freetts for gnome so it'd be a shame. Although, on this machine, when I run the test of freetts, I found it very sluggish. It took about 4 seconds to hear the text. Is freetts that slow and sluggish normally?
