My build fails, gives me this error:

/usr/bin/texi2dvi: texinfo.tex appears to be broken.
This may be due to the environment variable TEX set to something
other than (plain) tex, a corrupt texinfo.tex file, or 
to tex itself simply not working.

any idea why?

It looks like tools/make_voice_list is supposed to create flite_voice_list.c. Maybe I'll look into a workaround tomorrow (Might be as simple as manually calling the script but I'm too tired right now to check).

There is no missing step. This is an issue with make 4.4. When upstream fixes it, when can try to port the fix here.

@Bluebomber I would not suggest trusting random repos. The error indicates that there is no target called flite_voice_list.c in that Makefile. This was also reported here.

My guess is there's some missing build step, because it's not present in $srcdir/flite-1.4-release/main/Makefile but it is present in $srcdir/flite-1.4-release/tools/Makefile.flite and there might be some preprocessing step that should add that target to the actual Makefile.

Mine failed to build. A workaround is to use Chaotic-AUR repo and install it from there.

Commenting out the creation of flite.pdf allowed the build to complete as expected.

@dbermond thx!

@wordlesswind Package updated.
