I must be missing something important but can't quite tell what. This is an attempted build of speech-dispatcher 0.5 under FC3 (fully updated including GCC 3.4): Any help gratefully appreciated. I have no choice but software speech with the computer I have to attend a conference in a few weeks! <grin> Here's the error output: if /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile --tag=CC gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -I/usr/include/ "-I../../intl/" -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -g -O2 -MT spd_audio.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/spd_audio.Tpo" -c -o spd_audio.lo spd_audio.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/spd_audio.Tpo" ".deps/spd_audio.Plo"; else rm -f ".deps/spd_audio.Tpo"; exit 1; fi gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -I/usr/include/ -I../../intl/ -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -g -O2 -MT spd_audio.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/spd_audio.Tpo -c spd_audio.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/spd_audio.o spd_audio.c:9:25: flite/flite.h: No such file or directory In file included from spd_audio.c:12: spd_audio.h:7: error: syntax error before '*' token spd_audio.h:10: error: syntax error before '*' token spd_audio.c:15: error: syntax error before '*' token spd_audio.c:15: warning: data definition has no type or storage class spd_audio.c:16: error: syntax error before '*' token spd_audio.c:16: warning: data definition has no type or storage class spd_audio.c:17: error: syntax error before '*' token spd_audio.c:17: warning: data definition has no type or storage class spd_audio.c:23: error: syntax error before '*' token spd_audio.c: In function `spd_audio_play_wave': spd_audio.c:27: error: `w' undeclared (first use in this function) spd_audio.c:27: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once spd_audio.c:27: error: for each function it appears in.) spd_audio.c:45: error: `CST_AUDIOBUFFSIZE' undeclared (first use in this function) spd_audio.c: At top level: spd_audio.c:61: error: syntax error before '*' token spd_audio.c: In function `spd_audio_read_wave': spd_audio.c:64: error: `cst_wave' undeclared (first use in this function) spd_audio.c:64: error: `new' undeclared (first use in this function) spd_audio.c:65: error: syntax error before ')' token spd_audio.c: In function `spd_audio_play_file_wav': spd_audio.c:84: error: `cst_wave' undeclared (first use in this function) spd_audio.c:84: error: `wave' undeclared (first use in this function) spd_audio.c:85: error: syntax error before ')' token spd_audio.c: At top level: spd_audio.c:122: error: syntax error before '*' token spd_audio.c: In function `spd_audio_open': spd_audio.c:124: error: `w' undeclared (first use in this function) spd_audio.c:129: error: `CST_AUDIO_LINEAR16' undeclared (first use in this function) spd_audio.c:129: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast make[3]: *** [spd_audio.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/speech-dispatcher-0.5/src/audio' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/speech-dispatcher-0.5/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/speech-dispatcher-0.5' make: *** [all] Error 2 -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Chair, Accessibility Workgroup Free Standards Group (FSG) janina at freestandards.org http://a11y.org If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.
