Arch Linux User Repository

@tfl5034 @dbermond

The upstream source url 'www.festvox.org' for me works via VPN software but not without VPN software.

Just something to keep in mind.

@tfl5034 I have just checked, and the source file is downloading fine. At the time of writing, the upstream source url 'www.festvox.org' is not down for me.

It seems that http://festvox.org is down. It's an old site. It might be more reliable to use archive.org to download. https://web.archive.org/web/20250805095917/http://www.festvox.org/flite/download.html

Not sure if this is against any guidelines.

@ninetailedtori you're using clang, which is not the default compiler in Arch Linux. This error happens with clang. Build the package using gcc (the default Arch Linux compiler). That being said, I have just checked, and the package is building fine in an up-to-date Arch Linux system with the default compiler (gcc).

Not sure why bits is throwing errors, and it doesn't seem the fault of this package, but as an include...

Do you know how to fix this error when building flite1?

@dbermond I haven't looked into why, but for whatever reason my copy of texi2pdf was only outputting a DVI file, despite what the documentation claims. It's almost certainly a problem with my setup rather than the package, but I figured I'd post the workaround just in case anyone else runs into the same problem. Comment aimed at future users rather than maintainers. Thank you for the quick replies though.

@kentslaney I cannot reproduce your issue. The package is building fine for me.

install: cannot stat 'flite-1.4-release/doc/flite.pdf': No such file or directory

was resolved for me with

diff --git a/doc/Makefile b/doc/Makefile

though I'm not sure why it was necessary

@Captain_Lucy this is an issue due to gcc 14. I've pushed a fix and the package is now building fine. Thanks for reporting.

I'm unable to build this. Have tried many times with makepkg and yay. It's a dependecy for ffmpeg which I need to make my system usable for my use case. Anyone know a fix or workaround?
