Installing Dependencies: Festival, Festvox, Speech-Tools

Dear All,

I’m trying to follow the instructions in merlin/misc/scripts/alignment/phone_align/README.md, and I’m running into problems.

For now, I’m just trying to install and compile as indicated in Step 0:

Step 0: Install [speech_tools] (http://festvox.org/packed/festival/2.4/speech_tools-2.4-release.tar.gz), [festival] (http://festvox.org/packed/festival/2.4/festival-2.4-release.tar.gz), 
and [festvox] (http://festvox.org/download.html).

To do this, I’ve written a short script (once it’s working I’ll add it to the repo):

#!/bin/sh

# Joshua MEYER (2017)
# this script will download and install the necessary packages for using the 
# Festival vocoder

# Download and extract Speech Tools
wget http://festvox.org/packed/festival/2.4/speech_tools-2.4-release.tar.gz
tar -xvzf speech_tools-2.4-release.tar.gz
# Download and extract Festival
wget http://festvox.org/packed/festival/2.4/festival-2.4-release.tar.gz
tar -xvzf festival-2.4-release.tar.gz
# Download and extract Festvox
wget http://festvox.org/festvox-2.7/festvox-2.7.0-release.tar.gz
tar -xvzf festvox-2.7.0-release.tar.gz

# Compile Speech Tools
cd speech_tools
./configure
make
# Compile Festival
cd ../festival
./configure
make
# Compile Festvox
cd ../festvox
./configure
make

And, it works without any errors, but lots of warnings.

I go and try to run make test on the new dirs, and I get the following: (ive translated the messages into English, so they wont be exact)

Any Idea on what I’m doing wrong?

I’ve spend some time already reading the docs and install instructions for these programs, but I’m not getting too far.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best, Josh

Just from a brief look: for speech tools it seems you are missing ncurses, so try e.g. sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev
