Latest CVS speakup and 2.6.14.2

[Sina Bahram]

I have had no problems with gcc 3.y allowing variable declarations in the
middle of code blocks.

You simply have to specify -std=c99

If it's c89 that you're using, the gcc 4.x shouldn't allow this either, as
it is not in the standard.

Take care,
Sina

Hi,

Bet you're using gcc v 3.x.y?   Some of the recent changes to Speakup only 
compile cleanly on gcc 4.x.y systems.  The error about mixed declarations is
the give-away, gcc 3 doesn't allow variable declarations except at the start
of code blocks.

I made the file gcc 3.x.y friendly and planned to email it to  Michael but
I'm getting Dectalk driver crashes on boot and I haven't had time to debug
as yet.

Regards,
Garry
