@ -21,20 +21,26 @@ The preferred way to install espeakup is using your distribution's
packaging system, but if your distribution does not have a package for
espeakup yet, here are some basic instructions.
To install espeakup, first cd into the directory where you
unpacked the tarball, then issue make to compile the program. Once this
is done, as root, issue make install. This will install espeakup in /usr/bin.
Espeakup uses an autotools build system, so installation should be very
straight forward.
If you are installing from git, you must have at least automake 1.11.1
and autoconf 2.65 installed. Then, change to the repository directory
and type:
autoreconf -i
If this runs successfully, you will have a configure script, so run it
then run make. If that completes successfully, run make install.
ALSA SUPPORT
============
Direct support for alsa was just contributed to this project; I would
like to thank Chris Brannon for his work on this. Currently,, it is in
the early stages, so if you have any suggestions or patches, I am
definitely interested.
Chris Brannon contributed the alsa support to this project, and I would
like to thank him for his work on it.
To build with alsa support, add "AUDIO=alsa" to the make command when you
compile the program.
To build with alsa support, add --with-alsa to the command line when you
run the configure script.
