Compilation and Installation
In order to compile , you must have a recent ( 4.8 or greater) copy of the development files, including kdelibs and the development files for speech-dispatcher.
If you downloaded the source from the kdeaccessibility code repository module, or downloaded the nightly tarball, use the following commands to compile and install.

cd jovie
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
sudo make install

Configuration
Make sure speech-dispatcher is working with your speech synthesis engine before using . The shell script spd-conf can be used for that.
