In a previous post http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnuspeech-contact/2005-05/msg00010.html I mentioned a "missing separator" compile error for GNuspeech, which I suspected might have been caused by Windoze-style line feeds. Sure enough , that WAS the problem. To recap, I downloaded the GNUspeech CVS files via Tortoise CVS on a Windoze system. (I have no choice in that matter; my satellite ISP software only allows Windoze.)
Presuming there will eventually be others using this mailing list, who will also be bound to a Windoze CVS download system for what is a Linux/Unix package to build from, here is a simple "What-to do." First some background: Make files won't work if the wrong kind of line feeds are inserted. Unix-style line endings are just "linefeed" (\n) characters. MS-DOS-Windoze line endings are CR-LF pairs (\r\n). So, if you download unon-tarred (CVS) files in Windoze you get the wrong kind of line endings. I used a simple utility to convert from Win to Linux lines, called DOS2UNIX.EXE, available at http://www.bastet.com/software/software.html Hope this may be some some help in the future. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
