Compilation and Installation

In order to compile KTTS, you must have a recent (KDE 3.4 or greater) copy of the KDE development files, including kdelibs and arts.

If you downloaded KTTS as a tarball, log in as a normal user and untar the tarball to a suitable directory, change to that directory, and enter the following commands.

./configure
make

If you have the GStreamer 0.8.7 or greater development files installed, and wish to build KTTS with support for GStreamer, enter the following commands instead.

./configure --enable-kttsd-gstreamer
make

By default, the commands above will install KTTS to /opt/kde3. If this directory is not in your $KDEDIRS path, you may need to add a --prefix=target option. For example,

./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make

Note

On Debian systems, /usr/local is the usual place to install applications compiled from source code.

Login as root and install the compiled KTTS using the following commands.

su
make install

If you downloaded the KTTS source from the kdeaccessibility CVS module, or downloaded the nightly CVS tarball, use the following commands to compile and install.

cd kdeaccessibility
echo kttsd>inst-apps
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure
cd kttsd
make
su
make install
