File Size Limit?

[nickspoon]

I'm trying to port Flite, a text-to-speech synthesizer. Most of it compiles just fine, until I get to a 14MB resource .c file for the speech. I have left this compiling for several hours, and it doesn't seem to finish. Is there a file size limit in gcc?

Also, the speaking program for Flite uses the OSS drivers. Will these work on the GP2X?

A 14mb C text file?!? I have a feeling that might take a day or two to compile in honesty.

hes using a 400mhz pc with 128mb ram, (with average being 3200+)
2 days * 8 = 16 days

I don't think I'll bother

It's an entire Festival voice file, so you'd be able to listen to your E-Books in boring American monotone instead of trying to use the rubbish E-Book viewer.

why not just load the file?

I don't understand.
The makefile that comes with Flite just compiles the 14MB .c file automatically.

How would I do this so-called 'loading'?
