1, place your directory with the patched speakup kernel source in a directory under /usr/src 2, make a softlink called linux and link it to that directory. If you already have a softlink called linux remove it first. 3, now you should be able to cd /usr/src/linux and pwd should return the name of the directory where your patched kernel source lives. 5, make the kernel in a method conforming with your distrobution. Someone else can tell you how to make it for a 64 bit system if you are not currently on a 64 bit system. Usually the process starts with makemenuconfig At this point there are a few different commands you must do and they differ depending on whether this is 2.4 or 2.6 kernel. Read the kernel howto again. You did that already right? the install script for speakup applies to the tarball the checkout script should apply the patches. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darragh" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 2:30 PM Subject: Installing speakup from CVS > Hello, > I have speakup downloaded from CVS however I couldn't use the checkout script as I had to get someone who wasn't behind a firewall to send it to me. > > I have a question. from where do I run the install script that comes with the speakup archive? if I run it from /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup it says "cp cannot stat 'speakup': no such file or directory.
