testing simon

I made a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 (because the upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 introduced an error on my computer that I don’t know how to fix). This means that I have to git the simon development version via the Ubuntu terminal:

$ git clone git://speech2text.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/speech2text/speech2text

And now:

ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/Documents/201005/speech2text$ ./build_ubuntu.sh
./build_ubuntu.sh: line 6: cmake: command not found
touch: cannot touch `./julius/gramtools/mkdfa/mkfa-1.44-flex/*': No such file or directory
ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/Documents/201005/speech2text$

Obviously, the command cmake is missing. I have to install it via the Ubuntu terminal:

ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/Documents/201005/speech2text$ sudo apt-get install cmake

I am trying to install simon again, but the installation is failing again:

ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/Documents/201005/speech2text$ ./build_ubuntu.sh

I am reading this post. Is it necessary to add ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports via System > Administration > Software Sources > Other Software, press Add...?

Is it necessary to install ppa:kubuntu-ppa-backports as source when you have Ubuntu 10.04 installed?

I think that I should do something different, so I am trying System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager. I am installing now portaudio19-dev via Synaptic. And now, a different problem occurs:

ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/Documents/201005/speech2text$ ./build_ubuntu.sh
– The CXX compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error: your CXX compiler: “CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND” was not found. Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.

ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/Documents/201005/speech2text$

I am now reading the requirements in the simon wiki. Maybe I should type the following command into the Ubuntu terminal:

sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential cmake bison flex gettext gettext-kde kdeartwork \
kdelibs5-dev portaudio19-dev libxtst-dev libqt4-sql-sqlite libqt4-phonon-dev julius libattica-dev libattica0

So, I have to wait a few minutes until these packages are installed. Then I try it again, but the ZLIB error still occurs. I am now installing zlibc via Synaptic, then try ./build_ubuntu.sh again, but the ZLIB error isn’t gone. I don’t know what to do now. What should I do next?
