Re: Java-access-bridge

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi:

When you want to build gnome-speech to get the freetts synthesis driver, 
you may need to specify:

--with-java-home=PATH - path to the top level directory for java (from 
your JDK install)

--with-jab-dir=PATH - path to the directory containing 
gnome-java-bridge.jar (from java-access-bridge)

--with-freetts-dir=PATH - path to the directory containing freetts.jar 
(from FreeTTS)

The resulting /usr/bin/freetts-synthesis-driver will look for the 
components based upon this configuration.  In addition, it will look for 
the java binary using the following logic (cut/pasted from the 
freetts-synthesis-driver script):

# Find Java.  This first checks to see if the user has JAVA_HOME
# set and uses that if possible.  It then checks for the JAVA
# that was used as part of the ./configure and build and uses
# that if possible.  Finally, it falls back onto whatever the
# system has in place.  Arguably, one might want to use what
# is on the system, but some systems ship Java platform
# implementations that do not work (e.g., gcj on RedHat), so
# they're better off tried last.

Hope this helps, and I hope my "intelligent" mail application didn't 
obfuscate this message in its attempt to help me out,

PS - for any "configure," you should be able to run "./configure --help" 
to get a list of options.  In many cases, the documentation might as 
well have been written in Martian, but it sometimes helps.
