3 Installation

3.1 Quick installation

Like for packages using gnutools, following sequence should install it: $ ./configure $ make and as root user # make install

Unfortunately gnutools schedule is not fully respected here; in particular because auxiliary packages are installed. At current state of E.F.M. development, The make command should be done at root user.

Moreover if you decide to install under /usr prefix, do not forget to set –localstatedir=/var and –sysconfdir=/etc; otherwise run files (like pid files and socket) and startup scripts will not be placed at the right place.

3.2 Installation schedule

Installation runs according following schedule :

3.2.1 Speech_Tools 2.5.0installation

Can be controlled by --with-speechtools_enable=yes|no if you want to inhibit automatic installation of this package. Beware by default system will try to build Speech_Tools in /usr/share and if the one who proceeds to building has not permissions on this directory it will fail. You can control this behavior with the --with-est_path=<PATH> option; setting it to a path where you have write permissions.

3.2.2 PlnUtils 2.4.9installation

Can be controlled by --with-plnutils_enable=yes|no if you want to inhibit automatic installation of this package.

3.2.3 Festival 2.5.0installation

Can be controlled by --with-festival_enable=yes|no if you want to inhibit automatic installation of this package. Same write restrictions apply here has in ??. Moreover Festival bulding process assumes Speech_Tools sources are available essentially under the same root.

3.2.4 EfmScheduler installation

3.2.5 EfmClient installation

3.2.6 Startup scripts installation

3.2.7 PlnJ++ installation

3.2.8 PlnScmEl installation

3.2.9 Emacs interface installation

This interface installation requires Speechd-El to be available.

3.2.10 Freebsoft installation

3.2.11 Mbrola installation

Can be controlled by --with-mbrola_enable=yes|no if you want to inhibit automatic installation of this package.

3.3 The installer

This section is not really structured. Problems are mentioned here when they are encountered; and a few explanation might occasionally be given; but nothing is exhaustive here !

3.3.1 The EFM_vars.scm file

This file resides in ./festival/lib and should be installed in <libdir>/Festival/efm. A similar file exists for EcaScheme or FranFest. This file contains vriables definitions that are installation dependent. Therefore this file does not really exist; but is built at make time from the .def corresponding file here EFM_var.scm.def :
