README for Pd external distribution 'pd-flite'
Last updated for version 0.3.3
# DESCRIPTION
The 'pd-flite' distribution contains a single Pd external ("flite"),
which provides a high-level text-to-speech interface for English based on
the 'libflite' library by Alan W Black and Kevin A. Lenzo.
'libflite' lives at https://github.com/festvox/flite
# linking with libflite
To produce a self-contained "flite" external (with no external dependencies
on libflite), you can statically link the library.
## git submodules
The libflite sources are available via a git submodule in `deps/flite/`.
After cloning the pd-flite repository, initialize the submodules via:
git submodule update --init
If the submodule is updated, re-run `git submodule update` in your local
clone to get the lastest and greatest libflite.
## without git
If you obtained the 'pd-flite' sources without git (e.g. by downloading a
release tarball), there won't be any bundled libflite.
Instead, you can manually download flite from https://github.com/festvox/flite
and put it into the `deps/flite/` folder (so you have a
deps/flite/include/flite.h file)
## use system libraries
If you prefer to use system-provided libflite instead (e.g. provided by
your favourite package manager), just make sure that deps/flite/ is empty
(by not initializing the git-submodules and not downloading libflite
manually).
If the build process does not detect the deps/flite/include/flite.h file,
it will attempt to use a system-provided libflite instead.
If you happen to have a local copy of libflite in the deps/ folder,
you can force building against the system libraries by adding
`use_bundled_flite=no` when calling *make*.
# WINDOWS BUILD
With MSYS2 install the ntldd package:
pacman -S mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-ntldd-git
pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-ntldd-git
Then cd MinGW to this repo and do:
make
or you can also specify more options with:
make PDDIR=<path/to/pd-directory>
then do this command that installs and fills the `pthread` dependencies on the output dir:
make localdep_windows
or with more options:
make PDLIBDIR=<path/you/want-the/output> extension=<m_i386 or m_amd64> localdep_windows
