Trouble compiling Simon speech to text software
by coderlen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BP33)
Simon is an open-source voice-to-text application which is now archived. It's been on ice for about 7 years, so it is without support. But it's a really cool application, and I'd like to get it working.
There are some YouTube demos which show it working. Here is one of them:

I successfully downloaded the source code and compiled the program, and I get the GUI. Trouble is, it gives error messages when I try to "train" the software to my voice. Although the GUI comes up, I can't do anything with it until I fix the errors.
I am attaching some screenshots to show you the GUI, with the errors.
And I am also attaching some screenshots of the command line interface (cli) to show you the commands I issued to do the make, which shows the structure of the directories I used.
Here is my system configuration:
Toshiba Satellite P55-A5200 laptop.
Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon 4.2.3
Intel(C) CoreTM i5-3337U CPU @ 1.80GHz * 2
Memory: 15.5 GiB
Hopefully this will give you enough information to help me. I will of course post anything about my environment that you need to analyze my problem. Thanks so much!
