question about speakup and festival kernel

[Jacob Schmude]

Hi all:
Well, after much effort and some choice words... I still can't get the thing to compile! It's the exact same errors I described earlier. My question is this: was this 
module built and tested under a clean 2.4.19? Or was it some distro-patched kernel, such as redhat and mandrake use? Funny thing is, in the original speakup 
1.00 source, I find the references to `parent', which is claimed to not be declared. Yet when compiling normal speakup. no problems. So what file, or symbolic 
link, or whatever am I missing? I really want to get this running, and I can't use the compiled binary due to my audio board being only supported by alsa drivers, 
and when I try to load them under the precompiled binary, I get unresolved symbols all over the place. Not that this shocks me.

Regards
Jacob

Ok, After 5 hours last night and 4 hours so far today, I give up!

I tried both options. I first tried the precompiled version on a
RH8 desktop and on my laptop. Both exhibit the same behavior.
Havent' got a sightling to read me the screen yet, but with what
little sight I do have I can see the same message flashing on the
screen.

After patching a 2.4.19 tree and following the instructions for
compiling, I see no entry for fest in "make menuconfig".  Make 
dep works but when I try to make bzImage it bails, with the same 
errors as previously noted.

Guess i'll wait and see what happens next.

Try with the second version of tarball:

Hi
Actually, it was the second version of the tarball I was using. I just 
can't figure out why I can't get it working. My hw synth broke so I've 
resorted to using yasr with flite for most of the time, not ideal but 
usable. Here's an interesting fact: speakup v1.00 isn't supposed to work on 
kernel 2.4.19... and it's 2.4.19 that I tried to make it work with. I've 
since tried CVS speakup on 2.4.20 with your files copied into their 
appropriate places, same errors. Exactly the same.
Help appreciated.

Have you first installed Speakup, and then installed festival-module ?
