I have had no problems with gcc 3.y allowing variable declarations in the middle of code blocks. You simply have to specify -std=c99 If it's c89 that you're using, the gcc 4.x shouldn't allow this either, as it is not in the standard. Take care, Sina -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Garry Turkington Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 12:59 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: Latest CVS speakup and 2.6.14.2 Hi, Bet you're using gcc v 3.x.y? Some of the recent changes to Speakup only compile cleanly on gcc 4.x.y systems. The error about mixed declarations is the give-away, gcc 3 doesn't allow variable declarations except at the start of code blocks. I made the file gcc 3.x.y friendly and planned to email it to Michael but I'm getting Dectalk driver crashes on boot and I haven't had time to debug as yet.
