Tala is a fork of Praat, intended to port all object-oriented code from C to C++, modularize the backend into an API separate from the application, and provide a binding architecture for scripting languages such as Python.

Currently, only Linux is supported, but the Mac and Windows code shouldn't be too hard to resurrect.

Requirements:

• GTK+ >= 2.0 (http://www.gtk.org/)
• FLAC (http://flac.sourceforge.net/)
• MAD (http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/)
• PortAudio >= 1.9 (http://www.portaudio.com/)
• GSL (http://www.gnu.org/s/gsl/)
• GLPK (http://www.gnu.org/s/glpk/)

Steps:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

The executable is located at src/praat, and the dynamic library at src/libpraat.la.
