Error installing flite on Mac OSX

Question

I downloaded the last source flite distribution and went about the normal installation process.

$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

However, when I tried to install the library on my system, I came across a strange error.

$ sudo make install

       cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory
make[1]: *** [install] Error 64

How can i fix this?

Answer 1

There are a few subtle differences between the BSD cpthat the Mac uses and the GNU of cpmost Linux distributions.

Consider the following snippet man cpfrom a linux window:

   -d     same as --no-dereference --preserve=links

   -P, --no-dereference
          never follow symbolic links in SOURCE

   --preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
          preserve  the  specified  attributes (default: mode,ownership,timestamps), if possible additional attributes: context,
          links, xattr, all

, , " , - , , ".

p Mac Linux. d, , .

" , " Mac cp, , , .

, , . man cp Mac:

, -R, .

, , , d R. ( ), . cp, Makefile (, cp ) .

, cp - , Makefile, Makefile.

Answer 2

, . Makefile .

flite-2.0.0-release, Makefile : /flite-2.0.0-release/main/.

:

#       The libraries: static and shared (if built)
        cp -pd $(flite_LIBS_deps) $(INSTALLLIBDIR)
ifdef SHFLAGS
        cp -pd $(SHAREDLIBS) $(VERSIONSHAREDLIBS) $(INSTALLLIBDIR)
endif

:

#       The libraries: static and shared (if built)
        cp -pR $(flite_LIBS_deps) $(INSTALLLIBDIR)
ifdef SHFLAGS
        cp -pR $(SHAREDLIBS) $(VERSIONSHAREDLIBS) $(INSTALLLIBDIR)
endif

cp -pd cp -pR, flite. , .
