Hi Marcello,
That is excellent news! Many thanks for your well-focussed and
successful effort. I shall look forward to firing it up at my end
and trying it. It will be good to deal with the audio output more
effectively at some point in the future but presumably that could be
handled -- as an interim measure -- by simply piping the output to
play? Then there's the need for a stripped version to provide a
daemon to handle speech output as a service -- what Dalmazio has just
done for the OS X version.
A more complete parser is also a priority. That is something I will
be discussing with Dalmazio, as I have some background material on
the original parser & dictionary lookup, if it turns out to be needed
(there's all the stuff in the repository that is relevant in
connection with the original NeXT implementation).
I hope to put a preliminary version of OS X "Synthesizer" up on the
repository shortly. "Synthesizer" allows those interested to
interact with the tube model directly (not producing speech of
course) and see spectra of the sounds produced and play with all the
parameters manually. It is useful as a way of becoming familiar with
the tube's behaviour, but more importantly, it provides a tool for
helping to create the tube configurations needed for the sounds of
arbitrary languages.
As you know, there's a "Synthesizer" manual on my university web
site: http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~hill under "Published papers" in
Section E. There's also a manual for "Monet" as well plus other
useful stuff, of course.
Thanks again for your hard work.
Warm regards.

Hi,
After some adjustments, the GNUstep version in SVN compiles without
error. PreMo works and Monet can synthesize speech to file, with
intonation (tested in Linux).
To download:
svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/gnuspeech/gnustep/trunk
For basic instructions, read the files INSTALL.GNUstep and
README.GNUstep.
Regards,
Marcelo
