Try to build from source code and use the latest CMU SPHINX and / or Julius coupled with the HTK. A minimized installation is better than an existing system.
ok, I have packed and installed the latest sphinx 5prealpha code which seems to have worked fine.
I had to set
OpenCV_DIR /usr/lib64/cmake/OpenCV
using ccmake as auto-detection of opencv seemed to have failed.
Here is my current status after resolving dependencies best I could:
[bofh@hal build]$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..

See also "/home/bofh/projects/ai/simon/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
See also "/home/bofh/projects/ai/simon/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".The KDE PIM requirement is a bit of a problem as RHEL/CentOS 7 has version 4.10.5 in base - not much I can do about that, I guess.
VRPN is also a bit difficult to build - CentOS doesn't have it at all so I looked into backporting Fedora RPMs here. VRPN seems to depend on wiiuse which did not build (guess it needs a later version of cmake than what I have).
anyway, as both are marked optional, I decided to go about compiling simon. I commented out CMP0026 in CMakeLists.txt which then let me generate makefiles.
Compilation and installation went fine afterwards and simon seems to start up just fine :) (I did not install simon on the system but used an installation prefix in my home directory, which I had set using ccmake, again).
As discussed in our IRC meeting, I started to work on building an RPM from simon. As I am not familiar with how things are handled in KDE nowadays I ran into the problem of finding translation files for simon - github (where I cloned sources from) does not seem to provide any po/.mo files - so rpmbuild is complaining about that:
make: Leaving directory `/home/bofh/rpmbuild/BUILD/simon-0.4.2git/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' + /usr/lib/rpm/find-lang.sh /home/bofh/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/simon-0.4.2git-1.el7.centos.x86_64 simon-doc --with-kde --all-name --without-mo + /usr/lib/rpm/find-lang.sh /home/bofh/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/simon-0.4.2git-1.el7.centos.x86_64 simon --all-name No translations found for simon in /home/bofh/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/simon-0.4.2git-1.el7.centos.x86_64 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.mC83yl (%install)
can anybody give me a hint where to find / how to get the translations files for simon?
I find them in the Simon\share\locale\ folder of Simon on Windows. They are .mo files.
If necessary, I can pack one copy of them. Please tell me where to upload. (I also have a public web server)
thanks for your kind offer, but actually I was looking for the official source where to get those files - obviously there must be some mechanism in place how l10n und i18n is handled in the KDE universe.
They are in KDE's svn servers.
For example, german ("de") files for the KDE4/Qt4 version of Simo are in https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/de/messages/extragear-accessibility/
I suggest to ask on kde-i18n-doc mailing list if there are scripts to generate tarballs that include multiple translations.
kde-dev-scripts.git, createtarball/create_tarball.rb (create_tarball_kf5.rb for KF5 applications).
Or releaseme.git.
Morning guenter
You might want to take a look at this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353283 and see if you can (still) reproduce it.
Thanks
@ltoscano: releaseme.git did the trick for me. for reference (couldn't seem to find these anywhere), I created these two files to create a simon tarball that includes i18n/i10n :
simon.rb:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby # VARs! # NAME controls the output tarball name # COMPONENT & SECTION: # These are used to build i18n paths # https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/templates/messages/SECTION-COMPONENT/ # should point to the directory where your translation pots live NAME = "simon" COMPONENT = "extragear" SECTION = "accessibility" $: << File.dirname( __FILE__) $srcvcs = "git" def custom remover(%w()) base_dir end # get things started require 'lib/starter'
simonrc
[main] # customsrc=git@github.com:KDE/simon.git customsrc=git://anongit.kde.org/simon doc=true l10n=true protocol=anonsvn branch=trunk gitbranch=master version=0.4.2git
also managed to build RPMs now (not tested them yet):

:)
Nitpick: Use as version for an unreleased software something like 0.4.80 (more of an alpha version number towards 0.5). 0.4.90 might be betas.
@fux: did some first test, simon's configuration dialog works great for me, also seems very stable. do you want me to comment on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353283 ? (not sure my comment would contribute much as I am running a very different setup here - no julius, centos instead of fedora...)
just a quick note to myself from our IRC session today:
As soon as you can verify that the rpms work you might post them to KDE Bug 356452
ran into my first problem when testing simon: the microphone doesn't seem to work (just flat 0%, asks me to adjust my volume - while mic is working fine in other apps).
using pulseaudio here - is this a known issue and/or should I investigate this further? any hints where to start?
