[Freeswitch-users] Help building MOD_FLITE library on Ubuntu

[Carlos Fererro]

Hi Michael,

thank you so much for you reply. Yes, build of this library creates a
pkgconfig directory with flite.pc and FreeSWITCH does recognize the version
of the library it is looking for.

Just one more issue I encountered during the build:

  CC       mod_flite_la-mod_flite.lo
  CCLD     mod_flite.la
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libflite.a(cst_wave.o): relocation R_X86_64_32
against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libflite.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

And I did try to recompile the FILTE library with -fPIC, although I don't
think that's the issue, and it didn't help. So, does the FreeSWITCH wants
to link against the .so library file?

Thanks again
Carlos
