Pay no attention to the slides behind this curtain...
Presentation Setup - 1 software requirements
- this presentation tarball and web browser
- MP3 player
- festival
- Edinburgh Speech Tools (the
speech-tools package in Debian, /usr/libexec/speech-tools/ in the festival package in Fedora Core)
- LLG festvox WAV file ZIP archive (
akwavs.zip)
- GNU prolog (for
la nelci bebna)
- NU prolog and some variant of lex (both for nitcion's semantic analyzer)
- Perl (for local execution of the random sentence generator)
Presentation Setup - 2 jbo_us1 festvox
# ln -s english /usr/share/festival/voices/lojban# ln -s kal_diphone /usr/share/festival/voices/lojban/kal_diphone_jbo_us1# cp local/festvox/kal_diphone_jbo_us1/festvox/kal_diphone_jbo_us1.scm /usr/share/festival/voices/lojban/kal_diphone_jbo_us1/festvox/
Presentation Setup - 3 LLG festvox
Note: Fedora Core users must first execute
ln -s . /usr/libexec/speech-tools/bin to compensate for a non-standard ESTDIR layout on that distribution.
- Install (decompress) the wavs you downloaded into
festvox/ljb_diphone/wav/
- make sure your
ESTDIR (Edinburgh Speech Tools Directory) is set properly (for Debian it should be set to /usr) and run make. This should build the timings from the Praat files and generate the pitchmark files from the wavs.
- Edit
ljb_diphone/festvox/lojban_diphone.scm so it reflects your installed path. XXX this should go away
Presentation Setup - 4 LLG parser
$ gunzip -c local/parser.shar.gz > parser.shar$ unshar parser.shar$ cp mill/parser/*.c . # poor man's patch$ make `for i in *.c; do echo "$i" | sed 's/\.c$/.o/'; done`$ cc -l c -o node *.o
Presentation Setup - 5 analyzer
$ lex -l -oanalyser.c analyser.lex$ gcc -l c -l fl -o analex analyser.c$ cat mill/genesis-excerpt.txt | node -dl | analex > cooked.txt$ $YOURPROLOG| ?- ['mill/analyser.pl'].| ?- parse('cooked.txt').
