1The Mac OS X build requires the Portaudio library. It's rather in early
2development stage and some integration details are still undecided.

4Building and installing the current version of Epos on Mac OS X:
5================================================================
6
7 1. download a fixed version of Portaudio 18 from here:
8
9	http://lokisw.com/download.php/en/portaudio-18-2005-03-18-fixed.tar.gz
10
11 2. follow the steps in libs/portaudio/README (Epos sources)
12 3. ./configure --enable-portaudio
13 4. make
14 5. make install   (with sufficient rights to install cfg files under /usr/local/share/epos)
15 6. install speech segment inventories (see cfg/inv/README for an explanation;
16	untar them starting from /usr/local/share/epos/inv)
17
18Running on Mac OS X:
19====================
20
21 eposd       starts a speech daemon
22 say-epos    controls this daemon, e.g. "say-epos 'Some text'" means "tell eposd to
23	     say 'some text'".
24
25These binaries are in /usr/local/bin, depending on your $PATH settings you may have to
26invoke /usr/local/bin/eposd and /usr/local/bin/say-epos respectively.
27
28Texts to say should presently be in ISO Latin 2.  For example:
29
30 /usr/local/bin/say-epos --voice kubec-vq Ahoj.
31
32 /usr/local/bin/say-epos --voice vichova-vq
33	`echo -n "STRING_WITH_DIACRITICS_ENTERED_AT_A_TERMINAL" |
34	iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-2`
