Hi all, I have been working with someone to help me install speakup v0.9B. We are both blind, and he is quite experienced where compiling kernels is concerned. I am using Slackware V7.1 curtesy of downloading zipspeak from the slackware website. The kernel we have chosen is 2.3.9 because it has support for my sound card. Everything seems to go fine, until making the bzImage. I have looked at the errors and they seem to all be speakup related. Here is what I have gotten for errors. gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fom it-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -DCPU=686 -c -o init/main.o init/main.c gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fom it-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -DCPU=686 -DUTS_MACHINE='"i386"' -c -o init/version.o init/version.c make -C kernel make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/kernel' make all_targets make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/kernel' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all_targets'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/kernel' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/kernel' make -C drivers make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers' make -C block make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/block' make all_targets make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/block' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all_targets'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/block' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/block' make -C char make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/char' make -C speakup make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup' make all_targets make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup' gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fom it-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -DCPU=686 -DSPK_BNS -DSPK_BNS -c -o speakup_bns.o speakup_bns.c make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup' make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/char' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers' Any help would be appreciated.
