Re: [orca-list] is it possible to compile Orca on chroot environment ARM 64 toproduce ARM 64 bit compatible Orca?

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,


To me this discussion is very interesting as well.


I started doing similar experiments with termux android app a while ago. 
i.e. I am also dreaming to run some kind of accessible linux based 
environment on my android phone.

Termux also uses PRoot under the hood, it also rebuilds many packages 
for arm and arm 64 architectures similar to userLAnd trying to overcome 
bionic libc limitations where possible in the process however it turns 
out each of these apps has something to learn from.


For example on termux pulseaudio is built with OpenSL ES sink included 
that can play sound directly on android. There is no need to use network 
audio (such as playing pulseaudio output via simple protocol player, VLC 
or similar). However on termux running X is not straightforward and it 
is not possible to build speech-dispatcher (at least I haven't managed 
to do that yet).

My initial goal for now would be either moving android specific bits 
from pulseaudio as packaged on termux to userLAnd or finding the build 
recipe for speech-dispatcher on userLAnd so I can rebuilt it on termux 
if possible.

That might allow us to have the sound in the termux or in the userLAnd 
terminal.

From there I'd like to start with emacs with speechd-el but I imagine 
that is damn far in the future.



Greetings


Peter
