[packman] mbrola für Leap 15.2 x86_64

Sat Mar 13 08:08:41 CET 2021

Hi Luigi,

usually it is part of my home automation. Therefore I've extracted the
essential part into this test-script:

---<snip
echo "Simon says." \
        | pipefilt \
        | preproc /usr/share/mbrola/rules.lst
/usr/share/mbrola/hadifix.abk \
        | txt2pho -f \
        | mbrola -f 0.43 -t 1.2 -l 16000 -v 0.9
/usr/share/mbrola/de2/de2 - /tmp/simon_says.wav
ls -l /tmp/simon_says.wav
--->snap

When I run it, I do get a result. However it is basically an empty WAV file:
filer:~ # bash -x says.sh
+ echo 'Simon says.'
+ pipefilt
+ preproc /usr/share/mbrola/rules.lst /usr/share/mbrola/hadifix.abk
+ txt2pho -f
+ mbrola -f 0.43 -t 1.2 -l 16000 -v 0.9 /usr/share/mbrola/de2/de2 -
/tmp/simon_says.wav
+ ls -l /tmp/simon_says.wav
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44 Mar 13 07:55 /tmp/simon_says.wav

So I check the libs:
filer:~ # ldd $(which pipefilt)
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcf77f7000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fe6ffebc000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fe6ffb84000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fe6ff96b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fe6ff5b0000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fe700498000)
filer:~ # ldd $(which preproc)
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffdf4bba000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f2ac3baa000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f2ac3872000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f2ac3659000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f2ac329e000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f2ac4192000)
filer:~ # ldd $(which txt2pho)
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffccc6b4000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fa540872000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fa54053a000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fa540321000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa53ff66000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa541041000)
filer:~ # ldd $(which mbrola)
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc003f4000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007efe59321000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007efe58f66000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007efe5986e000)

Next I check in each step between the pipes what the content is by
inserting a "tee .." and by that I figured that prepoc is the culprit.
So I changed it to:

filer:~ # bash -x says.sh
+ echo 'Simon says.'
+ pipefilt
+ strace -f -o /tmp/preproc.strace preproc /usr/share/mbrola/rules.lst
/usr/share/mbrola/hadifix.abk
says.sh: line 3:  8095 Done                    echo "Simon says."
      8096                       | pipefilt
      8097 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) | strace -f -o
/tmp/preproc.strace preproc /usr/share/mbrola/rules.lst
/usr/share/mbrola/hadifix.abk
filer:~ # ls -l /tmp/preproc.strace
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4024 Mar 13 08:00 /tmp/preproc.strace

8100  brk(0x564262d68000)               = 0x564262d68000
8100  getpid()                          = 8100
8100  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/preproc8100.log", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC,
0666) = 3
8100  --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_ACCERR,

8100  +++ killed by SIGSEGV (core dumped) +++

Looking at the ARM REPO I can find a much higher version. And at some
time there must have been the newer one since I installed it this way on
another machine (at least as far as I can recall it). Though, I wouldn't
mind to get the most recent. However, I'm not sure about its maintenance
state.
I think that mbrola is the best text-2-speech there is for free, I know
of. If you can point me to a better one I'll be happy to try that. I've
tested e.g. "espeak" which either uses mbrola indirectly or sounds
really crappy (in German).

BTW: I have opened other bugs at SUSE bugzilla which where packman
related which they happily coordinated. But that's some years ago now.
Anyway thanks for your support.

best regards,
Peter
