How to set up a working Festival system

1. Set up a linux system with a Red Hat Linux 7.1 (A laptop system)
   AND check the sound card configuration with
   /sbin/sndconfig  (The program will let you use your audio card)
   AND as a superuser (su), do the followings.

2. Download Festival-1.4.3/Festvox-2.0/Speech_Tools from www.festvox.org

3. Make a directory somewhere, e.g. /opt/festival-1.4.3 and put the downloaded
   files there.

4. gunzip/tar all files
   e.g.) gunzip *
         tar tvf festival-1.4.3.tar / tar xvf festival-1.4.3-tar

5. Then the tar files will be untarred into the following three directories 
   created by the tar files themselves.
   festival/    festvox/    speech_tools/

SPEECH TOOLS ===============================================================

6. Go to the speech_tools/ directory first because you need to set up speech
   tools first. Perform the following commands.

   ./configure
   gmake
   gmake test

FESTIVAL ===================================================================

7. Then go to the festival/ directory and do the following.

   ./configure
   gmake
   gmake test

FESTVOX ====================================================================

8. Finally, go to the festvox/ directory and do the following.

   ./configure
   gmake

9. To use the scripts/programs in the festvox distribution, set the environment
   variables ESTDIR and FESTVOXDIR like the following (In bash shell, add the 
   following to the .bash_profile file.

   export ESTDIR=/opt/festival-1.4.3/speech_tools
   export FESTVOXDIR=/opt/festival-1.4.3/festvox 

10. Add the following paths to the existing path variable in .bash_profile

   PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
   PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/opt/festival-1.4.3/festival/bin:/opt/festival-1.4.3/speech_tools/bin

   Then, log out and log in again for the changes to take effect

   Check if working
   >festival
   >(SayText "Hello")

KOREAN DIPHONES =============================================================

11. If the files are in the Windows partition, mount the device. (Assuming
    that it is the hda5, mount it to /win/hda5)

    mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /win/hda5

12. Copy the necessary files to /home/kyoon/festival/ with permission/group/user change.

    cp -r /win/hda5......DISTRIBUTION/12.osu_kr_ky_diphone /home/kyoon/festival
    cd festival
    chown -R kyoon *
    chgrp -R kyoon *

13. Then synthesize a test sentence.

    >cd 12.osu_kr_ky_diphone
    >festival festvox/osu_kr_ky_diphone.scm "(voice_osu_kr_ky_diphone)"
   
    >(SayPhones '(# <g i m d e j u ng] [d e t o ng ny eo ng eu n] [g a d dd a> #))

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You've just set up a rudimentary working Korean synthesizer!
