I'm also trying to build my own kernel with Festival support for Speakup. I'm having an issue with the kernel building (don't have the error here, but it's definitely something witth Speakup). Here's what I've done...and I *think* it should be right: 1. Downloaded a 2.4.19 kernel tarball, untarred it. (This is for my laptop, currently running 2.4.18. I'm still interested in the solution to the precompiled kernel issue I posted earlier, BTW.) 2. Copied the stuff from the speakup-festival tarball (i.e. /usr/include tree and then the stuff from usr/src/linux into linux-2.4.19/*) 3. Installed Speakup V1.00 4. Copied the speakup part of the tarball (the separate speakup directory) into linux-2.4.20/drivers/char/speakup 5. Configured and attempted to build the kernel. Here's where I'm a bit confused: On Mon, Mar 24, 2003 at 03:56:27PM +0100, Matteo Fasanella wrote: > To install the module, you have to untar the package and copy in a > directory; then "cd" there and you'll find a "usr" directory. > Copy all the files present in "usr" subdirectory, in the corresponding > "/usr" subdirectory. This is where things aren't quite clear. The speakup directory in this tree is empty, which is why I copied the stuff from speakup directory in the tarball (separate from the one copied into /usr/src/linux/ ...). That is to say, /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup is empty. That is, until I install Speakup 1.00 and then copy the stuff from the festival-speakup directory in. ... This'll be great--one less thing to carry with the laptop :) -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV/3 | "And if the ground yawned, Phone: (814) 455-7333 | I'd step to the side and say, Email: davros at ycardz.com | "Hey ground!
