Re: [orca-list] suggestions for upgrading Espeak

[orca yokoy de]

hello,

if you do not want to mess up debian (or ubuntu) you could use checkinstall:
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/147
http://linuxwiki.de/CheckInstall

homepage:
http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/

short version:

apt-get install checkinstall (do not know, if it is in the ubuntu repository)

the normal triple jump (./configure, make, make install) is slightly different. Now it is 
./configure
make
checkinstall make install

before you do that with espeak, deinstall the old espeak version.
No guarantee.

regards,
yokoy

ps: checkinstall works with debian (deb), redhat (rpm) and slackware (tgz).
