Ubuntu is a debian-based distribution, so it should have the same packages as debian available. So, I'm curious why you had to compile portaudio 19 and espeak, when both are available in debian as packages, and therefore I'd assume should also be available in ubuntu? > all this crap about linking espeak to the right portaudio, why can't > espeak just compile and work, Because, as I understand, espeak needs portaudio to be a cross-platform tts engine. Removing portaudio would mean writing code to use the audio hardware separately for gnu/linux, windows, and anything else on which espeak runs and talks on through the sound system.
