    Compiling espeak

    I need someone with a powerpc to compile a big-endian G3 compatible espeak application for Ubuntu 10.04.1
    This is for a blind person which depends on it.

    espeak can be found here:

    I know we talked over IRC, but for the Google-bots and future hackers:

    Try getting in touch with the PowerPC folks, it's not official anymore, but they still work on it, IIRC.

    Much Love.

    Talking Re: Compiling espeak

    How to make it easy for a blind person ?

    well what about this:
    Code:
    cat > get-espeak.sh <<"EOF"
    wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/e/espeak/espeak-data_1.44.05~really-1.44.04-0ubuntu1_powerpc.deb
    wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/e/espeak/libespeak1_1.44.05~really-1.44.04-0ubuntu1_powerpc.deb
    wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/e/espeak/espeak_1.44.05~really-1.44.04-0ubuntu1_powerpc.deb
    pause 'the following three commands use sudo and require the admin passwword, press any key to continue'
    sudo dpkg --install espeak-data_1.44.05~really-1.44.04-0ubuntu1_powerpc.deb
    sudo dpkg --install libespeak1_1.44.05~really-1.44.04-0ubuntu1_powerpc.deb
    sudo dpkg --install espeak_1.44.05~really-1.44.04-0ubuntu1_powerpc.deb
    EOF
    
    bash get-espeak.sh
    I will not let him type that, instead I refer to this:

    Try this:

    Code:
    apt-get build-dep espeak
    apt-get source espeak
    [change to directory of espeak]

    Code:
    ./configure
    make 
    make install
    Then you still need espeak big-endian data.
    Little endian won't do the trick.
    In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?
    Linux is like a wigwam.... no Gates, no Windows but Apache inside!

    Re: Compiling espeak

    To compile the eSpeak Emacspeak server (tclespeak.cpp) under Debian Sid, I had
    to make the changes below. These are not intended for inclusion; they are just
    quick fixes designed to make it compile. The location of the tcl.h header
    should also be set by the Emacspeak configure process, if possible, as it is
    different under Debian (i.e., /usr/include/tcl8.3/tcl.8 for tcl 8.3, and
    mutatis mutandis for tcl 8.4).The compiler gives numerous warnings about type conversions throughout
    tclespeak.cpp; I have fixed only those which give fatal errors, and by the
    brute force method, not the proper method of understanding the code and
    correcting it.
