You have to recompile speech dispatcher to include flite at build
time. Get the source and then do a './configure --help to see all
your possible configure options. You should see something to identify
flite as one of the modules to be included. After which, type
./configure with the options you need; follow that (assuming it goes
OK) by typing 'make' to build the thing and then as root, do 'make
install' to install the package. After you did all that, then startup
gnome and Orca and then see what options are available in the speech
selections. Flige should be there.

Might it be the --no-setup option which is used to launch orca for GDM
which prevents the settings dialog appearing?
Anyway, I am getting some ideas now what I might look at.

verify if the date/time of the settings files are being updated too.

Hi all!
El 02/03/11 08:34, Michael Whapples escribi?:

which prevents the settings dialog appearing?
You got the clue!
I saw this thread and I took a look to the code. As Michael said, the
problem is the --no-setup option, what is avoiding Orca for showing the
preferences UI.
Internally, if --no-setup option is given we're setting bypassSetup, but
we're not controlling if there are user settings already saved.
At this moment I have a patch and I need to show up to Joanie and see if
she accepts my solution, but, we're on the clue, so, we'll have a patch
for this issue soon.
Has anybody opened a bug for this in bugzilla [1]? If yes, could you
please point me to that bug?
Regards!
[1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org
Anyway, I am getting some ideas now what I might look at.

Hello Micha?

Hey, I encountered the following problems when trying to write
accessible, cross-platform gui applications that can be equally
accessible on linux and windows:
1 - c++/qt: inaccessible on anything that lives at this time.
2. c++/gtkmm: accessible on linux, partially on windows.
3. c++/wx - accessible on both, but has focus problems so counted as not
fully accessible.
I tried it on Windows several years ago and at least with Jaws it was
accessible. I've run my old program on GNU/Linux a while ago and found
exactly what you've described. I think that these problems are
mostly, at least for e.g. button controls, a problem of focus. When I
set it to one particular element, the navigation in very simple
applications was no problem.
Having said this, I encountered problems with the ListControl's of wx.
There was a new implementation in wx 2.9 which now uses GTK+ to create
ListControl's and I believe if someone would be in constant contact
with the developers, there would be even more progress possible.
So what to do to write fully accessible applications without any mess
like that?
I had to write a console application. At least, it works and
accessibility was in this case mandatory.
