- Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 08:21:24 -0400
Hello all,
I am trying to install emacspeak on fedora 44. I am using the mate spin of
fedora. When I try and make espeak I get a very long error and it wont make.
Here is the error I get:
g++ -g -O2 -fPIC -DPIC -pedantic -ansi -Wall -Wno-long-long --std=c++11
