+ README for PD external distribution 'pd-flite'
+
+ Last updated for version 0.01
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ The 'pd-flite' distribution contains a single PD external ("flite"),
+ which provides a high-level text-to-speech interface for English based
+ on the 'libflite' library by Alan W Black and Kevin A. Lenzo.
+
+ Currently tested only under linux.
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+ * libflite >= v1.1
+ The 'libflite' library by Alan W Black and Keven A. Lenzo is
+ required to build the PD 'flite' external. It is available from
+ http://cmuflite.org.
+
+ You may want to apply the patch 'libflite-noaudio.patch' which comes
+ with this distribution to the 'libflite' sources before compiling
+ them (the '--with-audio=none' configure flag did not work for me on
+ its own).
+
+INSTALLATION
+ First, build and install the libflite distribution.
+
+ Then, issue the following commands to the shell:
+
+ cd PACKAGENAME-X.YY (or wherever you extracted this distribution)
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
+
+BUILD OPTIONS
+ The 'configure' script supports the following options, among others:
+
+ * --with-flite-dir=DIR
+ Specify the base directory of the libflite distribution.
+
+ * --with-pd-dir=DIR
+ Specify PD base directory.
+
+ * --enable-debug , --disable-debug
+ Whether to enable verbose debugging messages. Default=no.
+
+ * Environment Variables
+ CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc.
+
+ See the output of './configure --help' for more options.

+
+ No support for alternative voices or lexica, and no mid- or low-level
+ interface to the libflite functions.
