It’s on Ubuntu. You might be able to do it all with cygwin on Windows, but I haven’t tried…

lol is there a book called “ubuntu for retards”? cause i need it. It appears damn near every line of the script is causing errors. i got past the first one (the auto format is not installed by default) now it doesn’t know what the heck norm is and i cant find how to install it, it doesn’t to appear to be an option by default on my sox and i can’t find what i need online. lol if anyone has an answer that doesn’t take much effort id appreciate it…until then, I’ll continue my googling. :) Thanks!

Huh, that’s actually maybe only the second bash script I’ve written so it’s possible I’m the retard.
I’m running Ubuntu 8.10, generally as root. It’s pretty much a stock installation, the only things I remember adding were in the readme file with the script.

I just got this working on an Intel-based Mac running OS 10.5. It took awhile. Everything installed/ran fine except for the following. Here are the problems I encountered and the solutions:
flite was a pain in the ass to install because it returned an error when you ran make. Namely, there were conflicting definitions of “swab” in a couple of header files. The solution is to temporarily comment out the swab definition in usr/include/string.h and remake it. The (mildly dangerous) workaround can be found here: http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/festlang-talk/2008-June/002518.html
From here, there were a few problems I ran into.
The first is to make sure that the location of SOX and SOXI in crossfade_cat.sh is set properly. (For me, /usr/bin/sox rather than /usr/local/bin/sox)
Second, for whatever reason the second if statement (line 8) in podcastit.sh was returning an error, so I commented it out.
Finally, it was only creating a norm2.wav file and no norm1.wav file. I found out this is because seq is called jot on OS X and the syntax appears slightly different. I edited “for i in 'seq 1 $SONGS';” to “for i in 'jot $SONGS 1';” (backticks replaced with apostrophes due to forum syntax)
Works great now.

Huh, interesting. It’s a pretty ramshackle script, I didn’t test it anywhere but my own server, where it continues to run okay.
What are you using it for?

I’m in the process of combining it with an Applescript so that you can easily export an iTunes playlist to a podcast file and then auto-FTP upload it to a server. On the server, I’ve got a PHP script that automatically crawls through folders to generate a Podcast XML file.
