apt-get emacs21 definitely works on ubuntu --

Robert>
Robert> I do not know how to access CVS anonymously, but this
Robert> tells us:
Robert>
Robert> http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs
Robert>
Robert> # on a local machine # pushd <local-directory-where-you-keep-sources> # As an anonymous user: # cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxx:/sources/emacs co emacs # except I seem to use /cvsroot/ rather than /sources/ and I found this
Robert> documentation at
Robert>
Robert> https://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?question=CVS_-_How_to_do_anonymous_access.txt
Robert>
Robert> We have been asked how to access CVS
Robert> anonymously
Robert>
Robert> Each project has a CVS link pointing to such
Robert> information, which you can find at the top of the
Robert> project page, in the Public Areas links line.
Robert>
Robert> For example, check the top of
Robert> http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs
Robert>
Robert> The link points to
Robert> http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs which
Robert> contains information on how to anonymously access the
Robert> Emacs CVS repository.
Robert>
Robert> Just replace 'emacs' in the url by the
Robert> project system name you're interested in, or just
Robert> click on the "CVS" link in that project page to get
Robert> appropriate information.
Robert>
Robert> Oh, and to find a project page, just search
Robert> the project name using the search box in the Savannah
Robert> menu on your left :)

Robert> Updated $Date: 2005/07/30 19:10:01 $
Robert>
Robert>
Robert> Also, I mostly update and build in Emacs by simply
Robert> evaluating `progn' expressions with functions in it
Robert> like `cvs-update' and `compile', but the shell
Robert> commands are as follows:
Robert>
Robert> # as a regular user with default gcc (which for me is
Robert> currently # version 4.1, but when this was first written was the version was # considerably lower) cd
Robert> <local-directory-where-you-keep-sources>/emacs/ make
Robert> clean ./configure --with-type1 --prefix=/usr/local
Robert> --with-sound=yes time make bootstrap
Robert>
Robert> # you may not want to specify the font addition
Robert> (type1)
Robert>
Robert> # `make bootstrap' takes a long time (forty minutes
Robert> or more for me; # # Mostly, for second and subsequent
Robert> builds, I do a `make recompile' # # [as user `root']
Robert>
Robert> time make install
Robert>
Robert> ## end emacs
Robert>
Robert>
Robert> ## For Eflite
Robert>
Robert> # This is from 2005 May 25; there is a more recent
Robert> version available. # pushd /usr/local/src/ wget -c
Robert> http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/eflite/eflite-0.3.9.tar.gz
Robert>
Robert> tar xvzf eflite-0.3.9.tar.gz cd
Robert> /usr/local/src/eflite-0.3.9
Robert>
Robert> # [as user `bob'] ./configure && make
Robert>
Robert> # [as user `root'] pushd /usr/local/src/eflite-0.3.9
Robert> make install
Robert>
Robert> # The install put the eflite executable into
Robert> /usr/local/bin/eflite # So I copied it as root to /usr/bin/eflite ls -al /usr/local/bin/eflite
Robert> /usr/bin/eflite cp /usr/local/bin/eflite
Robert> /usr/bin/eflite
Robert>
Robert> # Then I ran Emacspeak which seems to work fine.## end eflite
Robert>
Robert> ## For Festival, as of 2002 Feb 25
Robert>
Robert> http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/
Robert>
Robert> # I don't have any information since then, since it
Robert> all is in Debian # ## end festival
Robert>
Robert>
Robert> ## For Emacspeak, as of 13 Aug 2006, the new project
Robert> page is:
Robert>
Robert> http://code.google.com/p/emacspeak
Robert>
Robert> To checkout the code from SVN, follow the
Robert> instructions on
Robert>
Robert> http://code.google.com/p/emacspeak/source
Robert> Thus:
Robert>
Robert> svn checkout
Robert> http://emacspeak.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ emacspeak
Robert>
Robert> The above will create a directory called
Robert> emacspeak with the code under it; obviously, you
Robert> should do this somewhere different from where you
Robert> have your current copy of emacspeak.
Robert>
Robert> There is an excellent on-line book about
Robert> Subversion available at
Robert>
Robert> http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
Robert>
Robert> # as a regular user
Robert>
Robert> cd
Robert> <local-directory-where-you-keep-sources>/emacs/ time
Robert> make config time make emacspeak
Robert>
Robert> # as user `root'
Robert>
Robert> cd
Robert> <local-directory-where-you-keep-sources>/emacs/ time
Robert> make install
Robert>
Robert> ## end emacspeak
Robert>
Robert>
Robert> ## As for speechd-el, as of 2006 Jan 7, its Web page
Robert> is:
Robert>
Robert> http://www.freebsoft.org/speechd-el
Robert>
Robert> but I do not have notes on installing it, except that
Robert> it is in Debian
Robert>
Robert> apt-get install speechd-el speech-dispatcher \
Robert> libspeechd1 speech-dispatcher-festival -s
Robert>
Robert> My other notes say,
Robert>
Robert> # To use Speech Dispatcher with Festival
Robert>
Robert> festival --server & /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher
Robert> start
Robert>
Robert> # In Emacs, evaluate:
Robert>
Robert> (setq load-path (cons
Robert> "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/speechd-el/ " load-path))
Robert> (load
Robert> "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/speechd-el/speechd")
Robert> (load
Robert> "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/speechd-el/speechd-speak")
Robert> (load
Robert> "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/speechd-el/speechd-version")
Robert> (load
Robert> "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/speechd-el/speechd-bug")
Robert>
Robert> # In Emacs
Robert>
Robert> M-x speechd-speak
Robert>
Robert> # To stop
Robert>
Robert> /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher stop spy festival
Robert> kill `spy festival`
Robert>
Robert> ## end speechd-el
Robert>
Robert> ## For espeakf, its Web page is:
Robert>
Robert> http://sourceforge.net/projects/espeakf/
Robert>
Robert> # My notes say that as of 2005 March 27, CVS revision
Robert> 1.10 is current; # # My notes also provide in Emacs
Robert> Lisp an expression to evaluate and # say that # [as user `bob'
Robert> in /usr/local/src/espeakf/ ]
Robert>
Robert> # [succeeded on 2006 Jul 27 after changing
Robert> /usr/local/src/espeakf/CVS/Root to # :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/espeakf ] (progn (cd
Robert> "/usr/local/src/espeakf") (cvs-update
Robert> "/usr/local/src/espeakf" t))
Robert>
Robert> ## end espeakf
Robert>
Robert> That is all.
