revSpeak in standalone

Post by lbtony » Mon Aug 06, 2007 11:38 am

I have button using revSpeak to read out some simple texts. It works ok in development mode, when I build the stack into standalone it doesn't work, and I have also included the speech library in the standalone settings. Any suggestion? Thank you....

Dear Ibtony,

Have you checked that the external is actually included with the standalone and that it is loaded?

Hi Mark,
I'm not quite sure what you mean. I've tried to manually add the revspeech.dll file in the standalone settings and it still does't work. My application doesn't have any external, it's only a simple program to test the revSpeak function in standalone.
Thank you.
PS: my operation system is Windows

Hi IBtony,

Those dll files are externals. You need to check that the external exists physically inside a folder "externals" next to the standalone application. If not, something is wrong and we need to find out why.

Hi Mark,
I get it working by taking the dll file out of the external folder and put it in the directory where the standalone file exists. Thank you for your suggestions....

I think I've figured out the problem now. Somehow I have to do a script "set the externals of this stack to "revSpeech.dll" in development mode, then put the dll file with the exe after building the standalone.

Hi lbtony,

This is strange. Normally, you don't need to set the externals to make revspeech.dll work. Did you have a script that sets the externals property already and might that have been interfering with the standalone builder settings?

Hi Mark,
I dont think I have another script anywhere else.

This is my stack file, without applying the script "set the externals of this stack to revspeech.dll" . The only thing it has is a button using revSpeak. The version of runrev I'm using is 2.7
Thank you....
