After some trouble and lots of help from Melchior, we got Festival to work
under Cygwin last night. Here's what we found, in case any other Cygwin user
wants to try.
Festival compiles under Cygwin right out of the box - just follow the
instructions.
The instructions invite you to "make test" to check your installation. This
came up with a couple of errors, which I couldn't find a way to fix, but
don't seem affect the operation of Festival, so I ignored them. From the
command line, Festival does what it says it does.
Melchior's instructions need amending:
Just for the record, this all works for Cygwin:
1) apply the attached patch "basedir.diff" in your fgfs dir
2) copy these two files to src/Sound/:
http://members.aon.at/mfranz/voice.cxx [2.5 kB]
http://members.aon.at/mfranz/voice.hxx [2 kB]
3) configure && make
I needed ./autogen.sh, ./configure, make install as you would expect in
Cygwin.
Cygwin accepts '$ nice festival --server &' but this doesn't work with FG.
Perhaps the 'nice' settings need adjustment. No matter, '$ festival
--server' or '$ festival --server &' both work just fine. I couldn't find a
way to stop the festival server started in background with the '&' command
in Cygwin, but Windows Task Manager does the trick.
You need --prop:/sim/presets/voice/host=localhost. I added it to my
system.fgfsrc file.
So after a little effort, Festival and FG work together. The default voice
is poor, but Melchior is working on that, so we can pick one of the better
ones that are available.
It's a very nice facility, and I would encourage Cygwin users to implement
it. Well done Melchior, and thanks for the help. I look forward to this
forming part of the base code
