[gentoo-user] speakup won't compile with kernel 3.1.1 and 2.6.36 isn't available.

Hello all;

I sent this same message to Gentoo-accessibility, but thought why not, let's
get even more input and see if we can make this roll.

I've been a Gentoo user for awhile, and installed  a knew VM, using the
latest available kernel, 3.1.1.

When speakup attempts to install I get

* ERROR: app-accessibility/speakup-3.1.6_p201011120508 failed (setup phase):

Great, ok, so I further look into it, looks like it wants kernel 2.6.36.

This is no longer available, attempt to compile anything less then 2.6.36
I'm told it requires 2.6.36 kernel.

Also, speakup hasn't been updated since around this time last year.

So, thoughts, ideas, suggestions for getting this fixed?

Thanks for any assistance.

Shane

You can get kernel 2.6.36 from https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tags here
you will find the tag for 2.6.34 version of kernel.

Its now in the kernel itself, under drivers -> staging.
