Re: Emacspeak Make error on Mac OS X Lion

[Bart Bunting <bart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi TAIGA,

These are some lines from my emacs file.

They will need to be adjusted for where you installed emacspeak.
 Hopefully enough to get you started.

(setq load-path (cons "~/emacs/lisp/emacspeak/lisp" load-path))
(setq emacspeak-directory "~/emacs/lisp/emacspeak")
(setq dtk-program "mac")
(load-file "~/emacs/lisp/emacspeak/lisp/mac-voices.el")
(setq mac-default-speech-rate 500)
(load-file "/Users/bart/emacs/lisp/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el")


Cheers

Bart
