I have no good intuition on how to specify ffmpeg and eSpeak(-ng) as dependencies.

Hi,

thank you for the excellent pointer.

On HackerNews a user volunteered to take care of this: I will wait a couple of weeks to see if they actually manage to produce a conda recipe. If not, I will investigate this myself.

For future reference, I have the following two questions/doubts.

Q1. If I understand correctly, librosa does not have Python C/C++ extensions, however what guides the conda build is basically this line:

https://github.com/conda-forge/librosa-feedstock/blob/master/recipe/meta.yaml#L16

So, in my case, I just need to make sure the C extensions are compiled correctly, and, if so, it should be good to go. Note, however, that the current setup.py requires numpy to be installed BEFORE aeneas, because to find the numpy headers for the C extensions, the package numpy should be importable. This aspect might be checked. (A workaround consists in suggesting to conda install numpy first, as done for pip.)

(Of course a better solution would be solving the numpy headers issue in the first place.)

Q2. aeneas also needs ffmpeg and espeak to be present in the environment. The first (ffmpeg) is already available in conda-forge, and it is needed only at run time. The second (espeak) is not on conda-forge --- which might imply that its own recipe should be created first. Also, espeak must be present at setup time, since the cew Extension needs to link against libespeak.
