That script is meant to be run to modify generic kernel sources with the Speakup modifications. As I recall the steps, you should enter the kernel source directory, run `make mrproper` to be sure the kernel source tree is cleaned up (object files, etc.), change into the directory you mentioned, run the script to modify the kernel source, change back into the kernel source directory, make the configured files with something like `make menuconfig`, and then make the kernel. You can import the configuration file used by the Slackware makers for the Speakup modified kernel using the option near the bottom of the menu presented in the `make menuconfig` command if you want to start with the Slackware defaults for such a modified kernel. Keep plugging away at it--you'll get the hang of kernel compiling before too long. HTH a little, and have a great day.
