Update... Frustrated by unknown errors in what seemed initially a successful port install and hours searching for fixes decided to "pkg_deinstalled" festival 1.9.6_1 and all dependencies.
After rebooting decided to download the latest version of festival-2.0.95-beta.tar.gz located at http://festvox.org/festival/ . After reading instructions and disabling certain sound device support, compiled required Festival files with gmake also installed "voices, lexicons & dicts" After a few gmake tests, decided to test out "text2wave hello.txt -o hello.wav" to my freaking suprise it works like a charm! Have not tested any speech stuff, since all I need is "text2wave" to work properly. Totally stoked latest Festival 2.0.95 (Circa 2010) working on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE Cheers, Diego On 7 August 2010 09:52, Diego Montalvo <dmonta...@gmail.com> wrote: > Howdy! > Have installed festival 1.9.6_1 from the ports and everything seemed > to install correctly but for the life of me can not get jack working > on festival.
