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.
