One thought on “pd-external: espeak

  1. Hi Matthias,

    I’ve tried to compile the espeak external on a Mac OSX (lion) systeem,
    and it gave some errors.
    First it couldn’t find espeak/speak_lib.h , which I solved by copying the right file to the patch.
    Then as expected a nice .pd-darwin file emerged.
    But when running the patch in PD I get the error:
    espeak.pd_darwin: mach-o, but wrong architecture
    espeak array1
    … couldn’t create

    I used the same source files version of PD as the .dmg file indicated 0.43-0,
    but I did not compiled PD myself (tried but failed several times)

    Do you maybe have an idea on how I can succesfully compile and run your patch on Mac OSX
    or maybe have a precompiled version of de eSpeak external that runs on Mac OSX 10.7?

    Thanks in advance,
    Joey
