Updated working version that uses espeak-ng. Enjoy.

Thanks for the info, stas-t .

I tested linking oolite trunk with espeak-ng and found it does work. oolite-git has been updated.

In a few days I will upload a working PKGBUILD for oolite 1.90 that will use espeak-ng.

I understand and appreciate all these workarounds. But I think many people update a Linux system for convenience with a single command that updates everything. It's unthinkable that, with thousands of packages that make up a distro, one could accept the idea of changing the configuration on the fly during the update to update a single package each time. I think it would be fantastic if the AUR installer accepted both espeak and espeak-ng as dependencies and, in the case of the latter, created the link. Although I understand that those who don't use the specific configuration may not be interested in implementing it. Anyway, thanks for verifying that it works with espeak-ng, if nothing else.

The work-around I did some time ago is changing dependency in oolite from espeak to espeak-ng and creating a symlink: /usr/lib/libespeak.so -> /usr/lib/libespeak-ng.so (because oolite still links with espeak SO).

oolite was running fine after that, no issues with different SO discovered so far.

espeak-ng is so too different from espeak? I can't install because espeak-ng is installed and it wants espeak.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oolite-git is now fully playable again, will work on this one soon.

Once it's running fine also I'd appreciate if someone else takes over this package .

About espeak :

someone on oolite forums is working to decouple oolite from espeak and allow other text-to-speech generators. For now espeak is the only choice to hear voice messages.

I'm in hospital for months now, disowning this, since I have no time or energy to maintain this.

simona commented on 2025-07-11 05:07 (UTC)

can I use with espeak-ng?
