Re: [orca-list] No speech from orca in GUI in arch but espeakup works fine.

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hello,

In my opinion it's better to just write LDLIBS='-lespeak-ng -lpthread'
in the 'make' command (as we do in Slint) when compiling than modifying
the Makefile upstream, knowing that some distributions still ship
espeak, so forking he repo just for that can be confusing for packages
maintainers.

Furthermore, in the initial post Matthew didn't mention an issue with
espeakup but with Orca.

Best,

Didier
