Hello.
Here the thing: a open-source program, eSpeak (voice synthezer) uses 2
libraries: espeak-library and portaudio.
In eSpeak source =>
- For the Windows version, the libraries are included in the executable (static
linked).
To do run the program => it is easy => just run the executable via TProcess
(espeak.exe).
- For Linux, the eSpeak source produces a executable with static
espeak-library included but without static portaudio-library included
in executable.
So portaudio library must be installed in library path of the system.
If portaudio is not installed in library path of the system, a trick that
works is:
To do run the program =>
- first dynamic load portaudio with
loadlibrary('/the_path_you_want/libportaudio.so').
- run the executable via TProcess (espeak).
- For freeBSD, the eSpeak source produces a executable without
static espeak-library nor static portaudio-library included in
executable.
So both espeak-library and portaudio-library must be installed in library
path of the system.
If libraries are not installed in library path of the system, a trick that
works is:
To do run the program =>
- first dynamic load portaudio with
loadlibrary('/the_path_you_want/libportaudio.so').
- then dynamic load libespeak with
loadlibrary('/the_path_you_want/libespeak.so').
- run the executable via TProcess (speak).
All is working like charms.
Now i heard that this trick is unsafe.
Why ?
Many thanks.
Fre;D
