Installing Speakup

[Vic Beckley]

Hi all,

I am trying to compile a new kernel to make hardware options work with my PC and to install the Speakup 1.5 version.  I am running Debian 3.0 R2 which I installed with the installation files from the FTP site.  This means I have 2.4.17 and Speakup 1.0.

I have tried compiling 2.4.26, 2.6.2, and 2.6.5 with the same results.  When doing the make config, the only prompt I get pertaining to Speakup is whether I have a Doubletalk PC or not.  Speakup is not mentioned anywhere in the config.  Below is what I am doing.

Unpack clean kernel image and Speakup
Set Linux symbolic link
Change to Speakup folder and type ./install with no significant errors
Change to Linux
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
Copy System.map and bzImage to /boot and rename them
Set up symbolic links in / to point to the new files
Run lilo

The kernel boots fine, but there is no speech.  I can get back into 2.4.17 with speech by using my linuxold entry.

At this point I am totally frustrated.  What am I doing wrong?  Please help!!!
