Speakup & 2.6.12 kernels

Speakup & 2.6.12 kernels

[Lorenzo Taylor]

I am trying to patch a 2.6.12 kernel from Debian with Speakup 2.0, which says
that it will work with any 2.6.10 or later kernel..  However, I am getting the
following when I run ./install from the speakup directory:

Patching version v26
Creating .orig files [...............] done.
Patching files [ppppppp1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/Makefile.rej
pppp9 out of 13 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/char/vt.c.rej
pppp] done.
Copying files [ccccc] done.

I tried using Speakup from CVS with slightly different but very similar results.

Is it safe to go ahead and try compiling the kernel?  Does Speakup just not work
with 2.6.12 kernels?  Or is it a Debian thing since I am using the Debian kernel
sources?

All help appreciated,
Lorenzo

Hi,

I've built Speakup from CVS into every sub-release of the vanilla 
2.6.12 kernel as well as the Fedora mangled version.

So I'd suggest the errors are due to Debian-specific kernel changes. 
Simply ignoring the rejected patches is not likely a wise course of 
action, try applying the rejected patches by hand - they'll be in the .rej 
files in the apposite directories.

Regards,
Garry

For the 2.6.12 kernel you need CVS, the 2.0 tarball will not work with
2.6.12.

hi.

Speakup 2.0 won't work on a kernel version greater than 2.6.11.  You
will have to use CVS to patch speakup into any 2.6.12 kernel.

I tried using the CVS Speakup and got similar results.  So I am guessing that I
need to use CVS and manually patch the rejects.  Funny that IIRC the CVS version
gives me more rejects than does the 2.0 tarball.
