Documentation

For a broad overview of Festival's internals, see src/.

Documentation is also available on docs.rs.

The crate festival is being squatted, so instead, Festival's original name, shukusai, is the name used to represent Festival internals.

祝祭/shukusai translated means: Festival.

In documentation:

• shukusai specifically means Festival's internals
• Festival means a frontend OR the project as a whole

Build

General Info

You need cargo.

Building in this repo currently means building festival-gui. The produced binary is named festival.

There are 30 unit tests, you may want to run:

cargo test

before attempting a full build.

Linux

The pre-compiled Linux binaries are built on Debian 11, you'll need these packages to build:

sudo apt install build-essential cmake libgtk-3-dev

After that, run:

cargo build --release

macOS

On macOS, if you want the binary to have an icon, you must install cargo-bundle.

After that, run:

cargo bundle --release

This bundles Festival into Festival.app, the way it comes in the pre-built tars for macOS.

Windows

cargo build --release

There is a build.rs file in the repo solely for Windows-specific things:

1. It sets the icon in File Explorer
2. It statically links VCRUNTIME140.dll (the binary will not be portable without this)
