speechd-up compile error

speechd-up compile error

[Charles Hallenbeck]

I retrieved the CVS version of speechd-up and installed the various 
components it needed. This is a Debian environment, and I am still 
finding things I need to install from time to time. But the compile 
failed with a problem I can't figure out.

I did this:

./build.sh, it ran okay.
./configure, that too ran okay.
make

and I get a problem in main.c, line 421, where it tells me "PIDPATH is 
not defined, first use in this function, etc. The source statement is an 
"if" that tries to compare VIDPATH (all caps) to a null string, but 
evidently there ain't any PIDPATH.

What have I overlooked?

Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Chuck  You should check the installation document again but I think
you have not installed the glibc2-dev package or something like that.
All of the packages mentioned in the installation docs must be
installed.  I hope to modify that someday soonish because I think it
is to complicated the way it is.

Nothing. You need to modify the Makefile. The line you are specifically 
looking for is the line that does the compiling. You need to add an 
argument to that line, after the $(CC) variable. Your COMPILE line 
probably looks something like this:

COMPILE = $(CC) $(DEFS) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) 
$(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS)

You have to add the speechd_up_CFLAGS variable like this.

COMPILE = $(CC) $(speechd_up_CFLAGS) $(DEFS) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) 
$(CPPFLAGS) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS)

Also as Kirk mentioned, you have to ensure you have glib2 development 
packages installed as well.

Hope this helps.

Just a note about that. I have sent a fix to Hynek to be comitted to 
CVS, so it should build properly after a fresh checkout.

Hi Kirk,

Okay, I will double check it. The glibc2-dev package could not be found 
by my apt-get command, so maybe there is a slightly different name. I 
will pursue it.

Thanks, Luke. I will give that s shot too, but first I have to find that 
library.

Okay, I got the speechd-up to compile. Seems like the library I needed 
was "libglib2.0-dev", and it compiled without adding that Makefile 
modification. Now to see if it works!

Love this Debian box! Great tools for problem solving.

It works. I have software speech again (if I need it) thanks to all.

apt-get install automake1.7 or later.  Maybe apt-get install flite-dev?  The
upgrading of automake fixed the problem in my case.  When you upgrade your
automake, remove your old automake.

Unless there's been an update, install in the cvs tree of speechd_up doesn't
mention glib2-dev or libspeechd.  Probably a few others.

libglib2-dev I think is the name of the package.  Do an apt-cache search for
glib2.

Hi, 
Make sure all packages are the versions you need.  
To do this use apt-show-versions package name.  
The nice thing is all the packages you need you can get with apt-get
install packagename 
Also note you are going to have to make your own kernel because the
debian version of the speakup kernel does not have sftsyn in it.  
That brings up a good question 
A linux kernel is just that a linux kernel right?  So lets say I
downloaded the rpm kernels maid debian packages using alien would they
install and work on my debian system?  If so all I would have to do is
get the packages convert them to deb packages and send them to the sight
and we would have new kernels we could install using dpkg -I package
name.  
Let me know if that is possible.
