Re: emacs-24.3 + emacspeak-39.0

[lsmithso@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi: I fixed my emacs path and was able to build emacspeak-39.0
OK. This fixed most of the problems.

Audio icons wouldn't play because  emacspeak-play-args default was set
to "-n" instead of "-N".   "-n" isn't a valid aplay argument, at least
on vinux 4.0.

emacspeak-version in emacspeak-setup.el is set to 38.0 rather than
39.0.

I added the following to advice the m-left/right keys. Its a straight
copy/paste of the  forward-word/backward-word functions, but it seems
to work.


  (defadvice right-word (after emacspeak pre act comp)
    "Speak the word you just moved to."
    (when (ems-interactive-p )
      (skip-syntax-forward " ")
      (emacspeak-speak-word )))
  
  (defadvice left-word (after emacspeak pre act comp)
    "Speak the word you just moved to."
    (when (ems-interactive-p ) (emacspeak-speak-word )))
)
