Artikulate is a language learning application that helps improving pronunciation skills for various languages. This repository maintains the application and language specifications. All course files are maintained in a separate repository named "artikulate-data" and hosted on the KDE infrastructure.
For a detailed explanation how to contribute new languages and/or new courses, please refer to the information at techbase: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Edu/Artikulate
- contribute: please go to phabricator.kde.org
All build dependencies are defined in the CMake files. Please run CMake and and consider the the output.
Building produces the binary "artikulate" and the following shared libraries, which are only used internally inside Artikulate:
- artikulatelearnerprofile
- artikuklatesound
- artikulatecore
- none
It is important that there is /no/ explicit or implicit linking to any gstreamer-0.10 base library. Please ensure this, e.g., by executing "ldd artikulate" and by confirming that its output does not contain any reference to gstreamer-0.10. Mixing both gstreamer-0.10 and gstreamer-1.0 will lead to crashes and failures of all sound recording and playing functionality of the application.
