Linux software prerequisites

remove all Julius executables and development packages.

remove Julius header files in:

/usr/include/julius;

remove static libraries:

/usr/lib/libsent.a; 
/usr/lib/libjulius.a

Fedora:

install voxshell compile dependencies

 $ sudo yum install gcc glibc-devel libgcc alsa-lib alsa-lib-devel

install Julia

  $ sudo yum install julia

Julia is the scripting language used to compile VoxShell grammars

Ubuntu:

  • $ autoreconf -ivf
  • $ configure
  • $ make -j
  • $ sudo make install
to another location
  • $ autoreconf -ivf
  • $ configure --prefix=pathToVoxShell # e.g. pathToVoxShell=full path to folder where voxshell is to be installed
  • $ make -j
  • $ sudo make install

Grammar Dependencies

The Julius grammars can be build without these dependencies. However, if you try to execute certain speech commands, nothing will happen because the associated program has not been installed.

Rhythmbox grammar

requires: rhythmbox-client (controls a running instance of rhythmbox); dbus-send (send a message to a message bus).

Fedora:

  # yum install rhythmbox-client dbus-send

Ubuntu:

these are installed by default.

Gnome grammar

requires: wmctrl (command line interface to X Window Manager); xdotool (command-line X11 automation tool).

Fedora:

  $ sudo yum install wmctrl xdotool

Ubuntu:

  $ sudo apt-get install wmctrl xdotool

Shell grammar

requires: inxi (command line system information script for console - used for weather lookup example); festival (text-to-speech system).

Fedora:

  $ sudo yum install inxi festival

Ubuntu:

  $ sudo apt-get install inxi festival

Windows:

Mingw

MingW is preferred over Cynwin because an executable created using MingW can be executed in a regular Windows Command Prompt window without any additional files.

Download and install Mingw installer

install voxshell compile dependencies

use the mingw-get GUI installer to install the following dependencies:

Basic Setup Package mingw-developer-toolkit mingw32-base msys-base All Packages MinGW mingw32-autoconf mingw32-autotools mingw32-base mingw32-binutils mingw32-gcc mingw32-libgcc mingw32-libtool mingw32-libz mingw32-make mingw32-mingwrt MSYS msys-autoconf msys-automake msys-base msys-bash msys-bison msys-core msys-coreutils msys-dos2unix msys-flex msys-libz2 msys-m4 msys-make

msys is you unix-style command shell and is located at

C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat

It is easiest to create a shortcut on your desktop of the msys start script.
