voxin and TTSynth on Gentoo

[Cleverson Casarin Uliana]

Hello, please does someone here uses Voxin and ttSynth, or some
equivalent product that brings the eloquence synthesiser, on Gentoo, or
could at least give me hints on how to set it up for use with speakup
and maybe speech-dispatcher? The Voxin devs don't support Gentoo, and I
know neither shell script nor other distros enough to look inside the
voxin installer scripts for other distros and guess what I should
manually do inside Gentoo to make it work.

Thanks,
Cleverson

Even though I install it for Orca, I do it in a terminal, and I go to the
unzipped folder after unpacking the Voxin file I download.
I do this in the GUI first, I have never unpacked a .TGZ file in the CLI.
But after unpacking it, I log in as root with
sudo su
enter my password
Then I cd into the folder where the unpacked Voxin is, I usually unpack it
into Downloads.
So I am already in home when I enter as root, so I go:
cd Downloads
Then I go:
cd voxin-1.00 for example.
Then when in there, I go into the folder that was unpacked:
cd voxin-enu-1.00 for example
Then to install it, I do:
bash voxin-installer.sh
You will have to answer yes with a letter y a couple of times.
HTH.

For unsupported distros, you will have to manually copy the libraries into
the correct locations. I had to do this when I built my LFS system. Also
make sure you install alsa-oss and ensure that
<M> OSS PCM (digital audio)
Is enabled in your kernel config. Maybe that last isn't necessary but it
never hurts. The libraries can be found in the various subfolders of your
voxin archive.
