Hi, As I am building my own kernel and have read the installation file is it still possible to just compile speakup and dectalk express driver in the kernel if I don't plan on giving away the kernel? It says in Installation that this can be done but I wonder how updated that file is. This way I could get rid of the kernels that debian produces and manage them on my own. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kerry Hoath" <kerry@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 6:43 PM Subject: Re: Trouble Compiling modules/kernel You'd have to build your modules with module-assistant and your kernel with kernel-package. This will build a .deb for your kernel and a headers package you can install. Alternatively you are managing the symbolic links for the include directories yourself and this gets tricky. I run the pre-compiled distribution kernels with the bundled initrds as I see no problem with the prebuilt kernels and modules outside the kernel tree cause me no problem. Someone else will have to sit down and document how to use an out of distribution kernel. I posted a guide to what I did to build the modules in late december, this will be in the list archives. The url for the list archives is in every message posted to this list in the headers. go take a look. the article you seak will be posted in late december from Kerry Hoath or use google.

If I have a kernel source tar archive from kernel.org and want to use it with debian where can I put the sources where the speakup git modules will see them? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kerry Hoath" <kerry@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Nick Gawronski" <nick at nickgawronski.com>; "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 5:57 PM Subject: Re: Trouble Compiling modules/kernel > cd /a/path/to/store/the/source > git clone http://linux-speakup.org/speakup.git > > cd speakup/src > make modules > make modules_install > > you'll need kernel and kernel-headers for your current running kernel > installed for this to work. > > Perhaps if someone was to mark up the instructions in html and submit them > to Kirk the website would get updated? > Regards, Kerry. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Nick Gawronski" <nick at nickgawronski.com> > To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." > <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> > Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 8:28 AM > Subject: Re: Trouble Compiling modules/kernel > > > Hi, I totally agree.
