Emacspeak with espeak

[lars.bjorndal@xxxxxxxxxxx (Lars Bjørndal)]

Hello!

First of all, I'm curious to know why the available servers for
emacspeak is not compiled and installed with the distributions that
maintain the emacspeak packages. Is there a special reason for that?

Next, I tried to compile the espeak server on a Fedora 10 system. I
went into /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/servers/linux-espeak,
and did 'make'. I get the following error:

libtool --mode=compile g++ -O2 -I/usr/include/espeak -fPIC  -DPIC
-pedantic -ans
i -Wall -c tclespeak.cpp
mkdir .libs
 g++ -O2 -I/usr/include/espeak -fPIC -DPIC -pedantic -ansi -Wall -c
 tclespeak.cp
p  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/tclespeak.o
tclespeak.cpp: In function 'void initLanguage(Tcl_Interp*)':
tclespeak.cpp:559: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant
to 'char*
'
tclespeak.cpp:596: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to
'char*'
make: *** [tclespeak.lo] Error 1
[root@xxxxxxxxxxx linux-espeak]#

If I try make -f makefile.tcl83, I get:

libtool --mode=compile g++ -O2 -I/usr/include/espeak -fPIC  -DPIC
-pedantic -ans
i -Wall -I/usr/include/tcl8.3 -c tclespeak.cpp
