I did not find any answer to having festival configured with
emacspeak.
espeakf is an Emacspeak speech server for Festival written in Perl.
I don't know how good it is.
Here are the commands for getting it as anonymous, presuming you put
the espeakf directory into the /usr/local/src/ directory:
pushd /usr/local/src/
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.espeakf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/espeakf login
## Password: just press <return>
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.espeakf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/espeakf co espeakf
cd espeakf
make install
popd
Since `espeakf' is written in Perl, it does not need to be compiled;
but it does need to be installed.
As described in my "Introducing Emacspeak",
(introducing-emacspeak.info)Installation
I start an instance of Emacspeak using espeakf with a command (written
as a shell script) called `/usr/local/bin/emacspeak-espeakf'; in a
more restricted form that I just tested briefly, it is:
#!/bin/sh
## /usr/local/bin/emacspeak-espeakf-test
export EMACS_UNIBYTE=1
export DTK_PROGRAM=/usr/local/src/espeakf/espeakf.pl
export DTK_TCL=/usr/bin/perl
exec emacs -q \
-l /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el
### end /usr/local/bin/emacspeak-espeakf-test
I made the file executable by executing
chmod 755 emacspeak-espeakf
in the /usr/local/bin/ directory as user `root'.
