problems compiling FLite

[Jared Stofflett]

What are your system specs and distribution fo linux? I've been told by the
authors of flite that it takea a lot to compile it. Also I don't think it
makes a difference but I did a make instead of make all and it cocmpiled
fine on my fedora machine with 501 mhz processor and 256 megs of ram.

Subject: problems compiling FLite

Hi folks,
  A couple of days ago I decided to install the Speech Dispatcher package
along with Speechdup for software speech access. I read that FLite was a
necessary speech engine, so I downloaded the source packages and
uncompressed the tarball to a FLite directory on my computer.  then changed
to that directory, issued the ./configure command, and all went well. When I
then typed "make all," the machine began compiling away. For about eight or
nine minutes, the screen updated when new components were compiled, but at a
particular point, the computer just sat there and the status quit updating.
My hard disk even turned itself off due to inactivity. Unfortunately I was
not able to get the exact line of the makefile where the compilation
stopped, save for something about diphone.o and the -wall switch. If anyone
has had compilation stalls like this, I'd be interested to know how they
were resolved. Also, if I'm wasting my time with compiling something I don't
need after all, please let me know. I have already got Festival and the
Dectalk Software V5.01 installed.
Thanks,
Steve
