Ok, the way this should go is something like this: apt-build source espeak cd /var/cache/apt-build/build/espeak-1.46.02 edit src/Makefile apt-build install espeak If that still doesn't work, and that's how you did it, then my guess is that debian/rules should be edited instead of the Makefile, but I'm not sure exactly how. Likely doing it like I described above, and editing the Makefile should work. Good luck, and let us know what happens. Greg On Sat, Nov 02, 2013 at 01:29:04PM -0500, John G.
