Re: [gnuspeech-contact] Missing gorm files?

[Gregory John Casamento]

All,

My apologies to the group for not being able to participate more.   GNUspeech is a fascinating project.  Since I took over as Chief Maintainer for GNUstep, I've been extremely busy both with things concerning GNUstep and other things for my work.

I am happy to answer any questions about work I did for GNUspeech, and I promise, but can't guarantee that I will spend some time on it.

One of the things I felt is most important is to refactor it so that the tube model resides in a separate library.  This way, it could be used by any number of things.  Also, I'm wondering if it would be possible to abstract the output so that the sounds generated could be piped to a number of different outputs instead of depending on the CoreAudio framework.  This would mean that you would, essentially, have an audio "Backend" for GNUspeech.

Anyway, I have been thinking about this project (as you can tell from the above)... if only there were 36 hours in the day, instead of 24.

Later, GJC

Hi Robert,

Good points! 

Greg had told me about your involvement and I should've remembered.  Many thanks for even considering the task.

The refactoring/rearrangement needs to be done by someone who has appropriate experience.  Any takers out there?  Is there a good source of information (apart from books like "Refactoring" by Fowler) that would give specific guidance to what is required in this case, in the GNUStep context?

Greetings,

To the best of my knowledge, Greg hasn't had time to actively work on the Core Audio equivalent layer.   This is on my to-do list as soon as I can find the time.  I had mistakenly thought I would have free time to do so back in November, but that opportunity evaporated.   If anyone else is capable and willing, or can offer a starting point, please be my guest -- it is only on my to-do list by virtue of being a problem that must be resolved before I can use the library with GNUstep.  I would also like to have an implementation that works with GNUstep under Windows.

A related issue was the need to do some refactoring to arrange GNUspeech so that it builds more like an ordinary set of libraries.  My understanding is that the current arrangement exploits Xcode's ability to pull together files that are spread throughout a project in order to build a particular target, something that is much more difficult to pull off with ordinary makefiles.

There is another problem with the current state of gnuspeech under GNU/Linux, and that is that the sound output is not yet integrated as it is for compilation under OS X/Cocoa.  Greg Casamento was looking at re-implementing some equivalent of parts of Apple's Core Audio for GNUStep in order to provide the basis for the intended uniform source that will compile under either Cocoa or GNUStep.  Greg is probably the best person to answer your question concerning missing gorm files, though I wasn't aware of that problem.

At present, the source only compiles and works under OS X/Cocoa.  The GNUStep additions are incomplete.

I wonder if Greg can comment.

Hello all.

I've tried to compile Monet on GNUStep under Linux and it seems it

misses gorm files which are not in cvs currently. How can I create them?

Is there any way to convert nib to gorm?
