I'd appreciate if anyone could point comments > on whether this howto needs to be changed. I just compiled speechd-up on a new-ish debian machine. I grepped my bash history for things I installed while trying to compile it. Here is the list: autoconf automake g++ libdotconf libdotconf-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev libspeechd-dev libspeechd2 libtool makeinfo speech-dispatcher texi2html texinfo I kind of remember installing each of these in response to error messages I got during the compile. So I think most, if not all of the packages in the above list are necessary. I think the docs say that texinfo and texi2html aren't required but I think they are. Speech-dispatcher might not be required. I haven't tried it without installing that first. I know this is a difficult issue for you as a documentation writer & source code maintainer. The problem is that if any of these packages is missing, you get very cryptic error messages. In some cases, I had to do some serious detective work to figure out what I had to install to get the compile to keep going. Of course, even the above list probably isn't exhaustive. My system probably had a bunch of packages installed that would have caused problems had they been missing. So good luck with the docs.
