A file has gone missing from long-text-aligner

[sethwoodworth]

I know that long-text-aligner isn't really your repo, but I thought I would mention the automatic build script pulls the svn repo correctly, but a file required in the build script seems to have been removed: /resource/Austen/persuasion_chapter20.txt. And running align.py fails :-( I tried paging back through the svn history to find when this file was removed, but I couldn't find it.

I am only letting you know in case this is useful to you. No worries if you don't have time to respond or support. Your code is going to be _ SUPERBLY_ useful to me. I am also going to check out @johndyer's karaoke repo.

$ python align.py Gen 1

Running ant
Buildfile: /home/seth/code/esv-text-audio-aligner/long-audio-aligner/build.xml

compile:

Thanks for the heads up! I've been meaning to look at this project again and see if the long-text-aligner dependency has been developed further to improve the quality of the output. Obviously the answer is no if it breaks entirely 😄 Unfortunately I don't have time now to look at investigating the problem. Pull requests are welcome!

Hi. To resolve this issue, change line 74 to from:

retcode = subprocess.call(['ant'])

to:

retcode = subprocess.call(['ant','compile'])

I hope this helps.
