2.3.3.2 Dynamic loader

Festival is not natively compiled against a dynamic loader since it does not enable the dynamic loading feature. This is precisely the goal of FestPlugin to allow such features. Hence Festival should be told to link against the c++ dynamic loader. The path to the dynamic loader will be put in the config.mak file (cf. 3.4.2 .) If the file libdl.so you plan to use is not at a standard place you can specify the –with-dl_libidr configure option. Default value is

@ac_cv_pln_dllibdir_default@

You can also give the –with-level=simple option to configure issuing $ ./configure –with-level=simple –with-festival_path=<path> that avoids to pass the -C festival option at steps 2.3.4 and 2.3.5.
