I am trying to port a text-to-speech engine (ViaVoice by IBM) from Linux to Mac OS X. I am given an libibmeci.so file, and try to compile/make a small sample program (that I got to correctly link and work on the Linux system) and get the following error: ld: /opt/IBM/ibmtts/lib/libibmeci.so bad magic number (not a Mach-O file) I am assuming that this is because the shared-object library (the .so file) is in ELF format where as OS X expects shared object libraries to be in Mach-O format (dylib?). I am wondering what I can do. I am only given the .so file in Linux format, and don't have the source to recompile it on OS X as a dylib. Is there anything I can do to convert this .so to a .dylib? Or is this something that IBM would have to recompile/support specifically for OS X. Also, I am trying to static linking at compile time, but possibly could look at performing dynamic loading at runtime if that would get this to work. P.S. - I've CCd the speech-dev list, in case anyone out there has had success/failure porting ViaVoice 6.7 onto OS X. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
