Make error: bin/pico2wave.c:22:10: fatal error: popt.h: No such file or directory

I'm trying to install picotts on Raspberry pi 2B+, Raspian Buster.
I followed the readme.md up to ./configure. Then when I run make, I get the output:

~/picotts/pico $ sudo make gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"svox\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"svox\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"1.0\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"svox\ 1.0\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"math.parent@gmail.com\" -D PACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"svox\" -DVERSION=\"1.0\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SY S_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMOR Y_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 -DLT_OBJDIR=\".libs/\" -I. -Wall -Dpicolangdir=\"/usr/local /share/pico/lang\" -I lib -g -O2 -MT pico2wave-pico2wave.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/pic o2wave-pico2wave.Tpo -c -o pico2wave-pico2wave.o test -f 'bin/pico2wave.c' || e cho './bin/pico2wave.c

If I try $ apt install popt , it says:
Package popt is not available, but is referred to by another package This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: libpopt0 libpopt-dev

I do have libpopt0 installed already.

Looks like you need the package that includes the header files. From looking at packages.debian.org it's probably called libpopt-dev https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=popt.h&mode=path&suite=stable&arch=any install that one and you'll have the popt.h header that you're missing.

This worked on Ubuntu 21.10, thanks @jpwhiting.

Actually picotts is packaged for Ubuntu; the package name is libttspico-utils.

no problem

On MacOS you may want to install popt via homebrew: brew install popt

On ubuntu 20.04 sudo apt install libpopt-dev worked for me. Should this be added to the README?

@oscar-lima yes it's works for me as well.
