Good morning / afternoon.
Someone asked about getting ESpeak working in OpenSuSE 11 recently so this morning I decided to give it a go.
Here are the instructions. Note, a more comprehensive explination is on my website at: http://www.digitaldarragh.com/2008/07/23/InstallingEspeakInOpenSuSE11ForUseWithGnomeSpeech.aspx
wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/espeak/espeak-1.37-source.zip
yast -i make, autoconf gcc-c++ gnome-speech-devel portaudio
unzip espeak*
cd /espeak*
mkdir /usr/share/espeak-data
cp espeak-data/* -rf /usr/share/espeak-data/
cd src
cp portaudio.h portaudio-backup.h
cp portaudio19.h portaudio.h
make
cp libespeak.so.1.1.37 /usr/lib/
cp speak_lib.h /usr/include/
ldconfig
ln -s /usr/lib/libespeak.so.1.1.37 /usr/lib/espeak.so
cd
wget ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-speech/0.4/gnome-speech-0.4.19.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gnome-speech*
cd gnome-speech*
./configure.sh --with-espeak-dir=/usr/share/espeak-data/
make
make install
Then just start Orca, go to the speech tab and under synthesizer, change to ESpeak.
Let me know if I've forgotten anything.
