4/ compile the voice data, creating an espeak-data directory.
This allows you to run:
make && sudo make install
and end up with a working espeak application.
This branch also contains some bug fixes and improvements that get
sent back upstream.
BUILDING
The espeak and espeakedit programs, along with the espeak voices, can
be built via the standard autotools commands:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
NOTE: The configure command detects various platform differences that
the espeak makefiles don't cater for (e.g. different wxWidgets version)
and detect the available audio setup to use automatically.
