True, although based on the discussion last week, I think the
intention was to
investigate building the speech server daemon under GNU/Linux, with
the
principal question being whether the distributed object APIs were
available,
and sufficiently compatible, to make this possible.
My main concern about having two trees is the extra maintenance
burden for the
developers, hence the question raised.
Thank you to all who are working on this project.
I believe the question raised about Distributed Objects came from
Dalmazio. As far as I know, the GNUStep DO implementation is complete
and functional. The only incompatibility I know of is on-the-wire
binary compatibility, since the Mac OS X NSPortCoder binary layout is
not documented. This means a GNUStep DO implementation can't vend
objects to Mac OS X, and vis-versa. Also, if I recall correctly,
GNUStep DO is only enabled between objects on the same machine by
default -- you need to specifically enable support for objects vended
across the network (a security feature), though I shouldn't think
either feature (binary compatibility or network distributed objects)
would be needed by a TTS server.
