Building eSpeak NG

[BobSquarePants]

Hi,

As the APK in https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/releases/tag/1.51 do not support Android 14 see: #1862

I tried to build/compile it my self.. with the following guide: https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/docs/building.md#android

unfortunately Android Studio is a usine a gaz[1]

So after installing

• the Android Studio with API 26 support;
• the Android NDK;
• Gradle 7.4+
• JDK 11

I've downloaded the source code of the 1.51

CWD where i dezipped the file

but after

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-gradle=gradle

I got

checking whether C compiler accepts -fwrapv... yes
checking that generated files are newer than configure... done
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating espeak-ng.pc
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: error: in /home/X/Downloads/espeak-ng-1.51': config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments for automatic dependency tracking. If GNU make was not used, consider re-running the configure script with MAKE="gmake" (or whatever is necessary). You can also try re-running configure with the '--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking). See config.log' for more details

Any ideas ?

Do you know if it exist a Virtual image of a Linux with all the required tool (stuiod, ndk, gradle) etc.. to make the build ?

Thanks.
