SVOX –PICO,
Build
ARCH LINUX package into Debian
ARM 6/7
Svox – pico is small foot print for test to speech engine
which is free to download from
AUR distribution. To compile it at arm 6/7 it requires a
patch which is also available to download form AUR site. For more details about
this package please read the following link
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/svox-pico-git/?setlang=en
To patch a package is a easy task when the patch is
available. This document only the patching way which may be useful for a new
linux user. I explained it step by step .
Step 1. Download tarball of
the patch and svox-pico from AUR site which is referenced above.
Step 2. Extract the main
package and the patch, you may use tar command to extract.
Step 3. Copy the content
of patch directory into the directory
svox package where you have just
extracted. As an example I extracted svox-pico into pico directory and patch into patch
directory.
So, I need to copy the patch (lm.patch) file to this
directory as below
sudo cp /pathtodirectory/patch/lm.patch /pathtodirectory/svox-picopico/lm.patch
Step 4. Now it is needed to
install another library, libtool.
sudo apt-get install libtool
Step 5. Now it is time to do
patch. To do it is required to enter into the directory
where I
have saved package. I have use these command sequentially to build and
install in
debian linux system.
cd
/pathtodirectory/svox-picopico/
patch -p2 < ./lm.patch
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
I received output message as
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
……..
when this process is finished it is required to invoke make.
It is simple just write make in the console. I receive the following output.
make
CC picoacph.lo
CC picoapi.lo
CC picobase.lo
CC picocep.lo
CC picoctrl.lo
…………….
Then I fixed where to install this build package. It should
be /usr/lib/arm_version
export LIB_DIR==/usr/lib/arm-linux-xxx
sudo make LIBDIR=${LIB_DIR}
install
make[1]: Entering directory
/bin/mkdir -p
'/usr/lib'
/bin/bash
./libtool --mode=install
/usr/bin/install -c libttspico.la
'/usr/lib'
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c
.libs/libttspico.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/libttspico.so.0.0.0
libtool: install: (cd /usr/lib && { ln -s -f
libttspico.so.0.0.0 libttspico.so.0 || { rm -f libttspico.so.0 && ln -s
libttspico.so.0.0.0 libttspico.so.0; }; })
libtool: install: (cd /usr/lib && { ln -s -f
libttspico.so.0.0.0 libttspico.so || { rm -f libttspico.so && ln -s
libttspico.so.0.0.0 libttspico.so; }; })
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/libttspico.lai
/usr/lib/libttspico.la
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/libttspico.a
/usr/lib/libttspico.a
libtool: install: chmod 644 /usr/lib/libttspico.a
libtool: install: ranlib /usr/lib/libttspico.a
libtool: finish: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/sbin"
ldconfig -n /usr/lib
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 6. sudoo reboot
svox-pico is now installed ,
