Festival Module for Speakup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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:

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 :)
