    can someone please give me steps for updating espeak in sonar linux?
    www.sonar-project.org <http://www.sonar-project.org> . It is using a
    slightly out of date espeak and I
    would like to update it. sonar is based on ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04.


I have a modified version of espeak that supports easy building on
GNU/Linux and other POSIX-based platforms at
https://github.com/rhdunn/espeak.

You can run:

     $ ./autogen.sh
     $ ./configure --prefix=/usr
     $ make
     $ sudo make LIBDIR=/usr/lib/x86-linux-gnu install

And it will build and install espeak and the voices for you. You will
need to install wxWidgets 2.8 before building as this is needed to
compile the voice phonemes.

HTH,
