divverent / ecantorix Goto Github PK

I'm using a Debian derivate, and tried to install eCantorix one or two month ago. Trying to run, I got some error messages. How do I install eCantorix and its dependencies?

I am trying to build the examples but running make in the examples directory returns:

bc2midi entchen.abc 0 -o entchen.mid

Can't locate Math/FFT.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Math::FFT module) (@INC contains: /home/$USER/Desktop/ecantorix /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.36.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.36 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36 /usr/share/perl/5.36 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at ../ecantorix.pl line 26.

Is there a dependency I'm missing? I can't find a perl package matching math::fft

It would be nice to be able to edit lyrics for Ecantorix using Musescore.

This project is awesome but now that Perl has fallen out of fashion, the source has succumbed to bit rot. Though I'm sure I could install the proper dependencies if I devoted a significant amount of time to it, as of now, I'm having enough trouble that it's preventing me from getting up and running.

Would it be possible to do one or all of the following:

• Provide a Docker image that has all the dependencies pre-built so people can use it 'out of the box'?
• Provide documentation on what the overall process is so that we can recreate it in another language? Intent is much easier to understand from a document than reading code (imo)
• Provide an updated version in some other language, like Python or Javascript, to make it more accessible/easier to use?

[elonsatoshi@archlinux-desktop ecantorix]$ perl ust2mid.pl ~/UTAU/me\ rindo\ eng.ust > ~/UTAU/merindo.mid Use of uninitialized value $utautempo in division (/) at ust2mid.pl line 75. Illegal division by zero at ust2mid.pl line 75. [elonsatoshi@archlinux-desktop ecantorix]$

There's no documentation on how to use ust2mid.pl. Does it even work with the latest version of Perl?

I tried to build the entchen.wav following the README.md but I'm running into the error:

qUncompress: Z_DATA_ERROR: Input data is corrupted

when executing lmms -o entchen.wav --render entchen.mmp

• I cloned the repository
• created the entchen.mid make entchen.mid
• build the mmp file ecantorix.pl -o mmp -o entchen.mmp entchen.mid
• executing lmms -o entchen.wav --render entchen.mmp result in:
  Notice: could not set realtime priority.
  VST sync support disabled in your configuration
  loading project...
  qUncompress: Z_DATA_ERROR: Input data is corrupted

  QWidget: Cannot create a QWidget when no GUI is being used
  Aborted

lmms version: lmms 1.0.0+stable-0ubuntu1 amd64 Linux Multimedia Studio

Any idea?

I didn't find any documentation for the project, how to use make for generating music from .abc files. But as I want to render songs in German, I have to use .conf files. Without a config file defining German as the target language, the songs are rendered with english phonemes.

I tried to understand the targets in the Makefile, especially the three targets including .conf files, but tbh I'm also not a great Makefile expert. I don't know, how to read the rules in the Makefile and the make documentation failed to enlighten me as well... :-)

So could someone please explain to me, which arguments in which order make expects for the targets utilizing the .conf files?

%.mmp %.ass: %.mid %.conf espeak-data
	mkdir -p cache
	$(ECANTORIX) -C $*.conf -c cache -O mmp -o $*.mmp $< > $*.ass

%.wav %.ass: %.mid %.conf espeak-data
	mkdir -p cache
	$(ECANTORIX) -C $*.conf -c cache -O wav -o $*.wav $< > $*.ass

%-xon.mid %.ass: %.mid %.conf espeak-data
	mkdir -p cache
	$(ECANTORIX) -C $*.conf -c cache -O mid --output-mid-prefix=vocals: -o $*-xon.mid $< > $*.ass

Hello there.
Is it there a way to create eCantorix input files with a GUI?
Even an external App, as long as it works.

Regards.
