I have spend almost a week to figure it out the problem related to Marrtts MCEPmaker for Windows. I think MCEPmaker requires speech_tools and festival.

For this reason, I tried to install the packages in festival 2.1 folder in festvox website (which contains speech_tools as well). I have tried to use the steps stated in here.

I face with the following problems (when I tried to install with cygwin):

  1. cd speech_tools $ ./configure. This step works perfectly

  2. make VCMakefilees does not work. However, when I rename the file C:\festival21\speech_tools\config\systems\ix86_Darwin to C:\festival21\speech_tools\config\systems\ix86_unknown the command works (Is this renaming correct?)

  3. nmake /nologo /FVCMakefile (With command prompt I tried with VS2009, VS2012 and VS2014). Not working. With the following error

    NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\BIN\link.exe"' : return code '0x49d'

    NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'

    (Same result also observed with VS2009)

    I would appreciate to help me solve the problem with this error.

  4. I try to run MCEPMaker of marytts by setting db.estDir as C:\festival21\speech-tools\

    I get an error stating that "C:\festival21\speech-tools\bin\ch_wave" does not exist

    Similar error to that

How can I get the folder/file ch_wave?

You need Linux to build voices, it is hopeless to try it on Windows. Simply run Linux inside Virtualbox VM.
