Has anybody tried using the speech-dispatcher and related packages in debian unstable? Is it possible to do that or is source required since speechd-up has to be compiled (I didn't see that on debian0. Also, the debian package isn't quite the latest speech-dispatcher. I'm asking because when I tried to compile speech-dispatcher with 'make all' it claimed there wasn't any rule to make target "all'. so i tried: aclocal && autoconf && autoheader && automake -a && automake automake: src/c/clients/say/Makefile.am: not supported: source file `$(c_api)/li bspeechd.h' is in subdirectory automake: src/tests/Makefile.am: not supported: source file `$(c_api)/libspeechd .h' is in subdirectory automake: src/tests/Makefile.am: not supported: source file `$(c_api)/libspeechd .h' is in subdirectory automake: src/tests/Makefile.am: not supported: source file `$(c_api)/libspeechd .h' is in subdirectory config/modules/Makefile.am:3: invalid variable `dist_moduleconf_DATA' config/clients/Makefile.am:5: invalid variable `dist_clientconf_DATA' And also i never have figured out what pthreads (one of the listed requirements) is. So either i'm missing something key here or I got the wrong archive (speech-dispatcher-0.3.tar.gz) or something. Since nobody else is happening a problem, I have the awful suspicion I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out what that would be.
