[g-a-devel]Gnome Speech FreeTTS Driver

[Marc Mulcahy <marc mulcahy sun com>]

HI All,

There is now a FreeTTS Driver in GNOME Speech on the gnome_speech0-1 
branch.  it currently only builds on Linux, but I'm working on fixing that 
now.  Specify the --with-freetts-dir option to point at your FreeTTS 
installation to build it.

Note that it currently requires gnome-java-bridge.jar to be in your 
prefix/share/jar directory, but this will be changing to a monkeybeans-2 
dependency when it becomes available.

the Java VM takes several seconds to start up, and as a result, 
bonobo-activation seems to hang when attempting to activate the server for 
the first time.  Is there a bonobo-activation timeout of some sort that I 
can lengthen to insure that the call waits long enough and returns?

Thanks,

Marc
