Purpose of arch-ci.sh

un_pogaz · 09-29-2025, 05:19 AM

I am currently setting up a development environment on EndeavourOS, derived from Arch.

However, by following the instructions in INSTALL.rst and when executing sudo python setup.py develop, I encountered this error:

Code:

/mnt/data/Workspaces/calibre/src/calibre/utils/tts/piper.cpp:10:10: erreur fatale: espeak-ng/speak_lib.h*: No fil or folder have this name
   10 | #include <espeak-ng/speak_lib.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I see that espeak-ng is mentioned in arch-ci.sh, so I'm wondering what the purpose of this script is. Should I install espeak-ng via this script or via pacman?

Also, arch-ci.sh use the environment variable GITHUB_WORKSPACE, but this one is mentioned nowhere else. It is the git directory itself?

arch-ci.sh sets up Arch Linux for CI testing. calibre currently needs espeak-ng with an unreleased patch so you have to install espeak-ng from master, that script shows you the commands needed to do so.
