[orca-list] updating espeak

[Josh Kennedy <joshknnd1982 gmail com>]

Hi

In a future version of orca could you add a variants combo box so we 
could pick voice variants like klatt and whisper and others? also could 
you add a dialog which will update espeak to the latest version? Here is 
an easy way to do it. pasted below there may be some spelling errors here.

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 It is using a slightly out of date espeak and I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.

Yes (see http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Installing_and_configuring_under_Ubuntu):

    sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dbg

how do I download this modified espeak? there are a bunch of links on 
the website. or is there a command that will make Linux go and get the 
whole thing and put it all in my home folder ready for me to run the 
other commands? at some point I would like to make zenity dialogs that 
will make the process even easier.

You can run:

    $ cd ~
    $ git clone git github com:rhdunn/espeak.git
    $ cd espeak

then later on, to update it, run:

    $ cd ~/espeak
    $ git pull

Alternatively, there is a zip button that will download the zip file for 
the latest code (direct link: 
https://github.com/rhdunn/espeak/archive/master.zip).
