Why does build take so long on Linux?

[zacharisharris]

I am in the build process (make) and it seems to take too long. It is stuck on a line that reads:
CC lang/vid_gb_ap/libttsmimic_lang_vid_gb_ap_la-vid_gb_ap_cg_01_mcep_trees.lo

What is wrong? Is it an error? Should I wait?
I am running it on GalliumOS on an Acer Chromebook 14.

Hi @zacharisharris building that voice takes a really long time I'm afraid. The size of the data that needs to be compiled into the binary for that voice is extraordinary large. Be patient and have a cup of tea.

If your computer has multiple cores you can try to build using make -jCORES where CORES is the number of cores available on your computer. This will consume a lot more memory during build time and gcc may crash if it runs out.

I have it running right now. What is the ETA? Will it take days or maybe just tonight?

[forslund]

Just tonight =/

My workstation at home is an AMD machine which takes ~2 Hours to build it, my laptop is an Intel i3 and builds mimic in ~30 minutes.

I would guess no longer than 2 hours.

Nice. I am running it on my Linux laptop, but ultimately I wanna run it on RPi 2 to power my personal voice assistant. Is it good for personal use?

[forslund]

I've not tried it on an RPi2 on a RPi3 it's no problems though.

[zacharisharris]

Will it work with my Python voice assistant instead of espeak?

[forslund]

Not sure. I've been working on pymimic a python wrapper for mimic: https://github.com/forslund/pymimic is that what you're asking for? Mycroft wraps the command line application using subprocess.Popen()

[zacharisharris]

My assistant runs the command line commands for espeak when replying to the user. Mimic has command line commands as well, correct? I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[forslund]

Yes that is correct, there should be no problems

I have successfully installed it and it works. Though, it is installed in the Downloads. Can you tell me how I can create a path so that I can run it from anywhere in terminal?

[forslund]

Did you run `make install` as root/su? Den 4 maj 2017 11:43 em skrev "Harris Zacharis" <notifications@github.com>:

No. Simple make install

I just copied the mimic-development folder to my home folder so now I just have to run the .mimic command. Is that correct?

[forslund]

Yeah launching the mimic command from your home dir should be no different from your download dir. (If you mean something like ./mimic -t "hello there") Den 4 maj 2017 11:49 em skrev "Harris Zacharis" <notifications@github.com>:
