The voxin installer installs voxin and its dependencies on various GNU/Linux distributions either system-wide or as a regular user (more details in src/installer/README.org)

The current goal is to provide:

• distribution-independent tarballs (installed under /opt or locally),
• in case of system-wide install, minimal packages providing symlinks to /opt for various package managers,
• no dependencies on foreign architectures (the x86_64 binaries won’t require multi-arch support from the distribution for x86 binaries).

The standard 32 bits libraries are built by Buildroot .

Build

build.sh is the script used by Oralux.org to build voxin-installer and its free software dependencies on a Debian based system.

Libvoxin requires a minimal pre-built 32 bits rootfilesystem (see paragraph “minimal 32 bits rootfilesystem”).

The rsync.sh script builds voxin-installer on a remote host and calls build.sh. It can build voxin-installer on x86_64, armv7l or aarch64 (see hosts in src/host.inc).

Build on remote host

./rsync.sh arch

arch: x86_64, armv7l, aarch64

Build locally

# build all
cd voxin-installer
# clean up
./build.sh -c

./build.sh

# build all, extract and merge the tarballs in list.vv
./build.sh -t src/list.vv

# This list provides the paths to the necessary tarballs.
# The common tarballs (*all*, *voxind*) are expected to be placed 
# at the beginning of the list

# For example to test English and French, these paths would be:

$HOME/VOXIN/voxin-viavoice/build/packages/voxin-viavoice-all_6.7-1.0-1.txz
$HOME/VOXIN/voxin-viavoice/build/packages/voxin-viavoice-enu_6.7-1.0-1.txz
$HOME/VOXIN/voxin-viavoice/build/packages/voxin-viavoice-fra_6.7-1.0-1.txz

# build all, extract and merge the tarballs in list.ve.x86_64
./build.sh -t src/list.ve.x86_64
$HOME/VOXIN/voxin-nve/build/packages/voxin-nve-all_3.3.0-1.txz
$HOME/VOXIN/voxin-nve/voices/packages/voxind-nve_1.6.1.x86_64.txz

Sequence followed:

• extract files from the minimal 32 bits rfs
• download libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 from archive.debian.org
• build libvoxin
• build libinote
• download the sd_voxin pre-built tarballs (see link in src/conf.inc)

Minimal 32 bits rootfilesystem

The buildroot tarball is expected to be found in build/packages/buildroot_2017.02.9.txz . This tarball can be (re)built if needed; it is a relatively intensive process (more than one hour, 3.5 GB of storage space).

Command

cd voxin-installer
./build.sh -b

Standard 32 bits libraries

The rootfilesystem is built by Buildroot (see its config in src/buildroot/). The tree is basically :
