[Emacspeak] Symbol’s function definition is void: emacspeak when running from source?

[Florian Beijers <florianbeijers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Took a crack at setting up emacspeak today on an ubuntu system.
Unfortunately, the official package seems to offer a somewhat old
version, so I figured I'd build my own.

I've essentially gotten through making both the emacspeak as well as
the native-espeak compilations, needing to install libespeak-ng-dev
and tcl8.6-dev to get the required libraries, and have set my
DTK_PROGRAM to be espeak.
My .emacs currently only has the line in it that the makefile suggests
you place there in order to load emacspeak. However, on running "emacs
-nw", the error in the subject is conveyed. When running with
--debug-init the following output is returned:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function emacspeak)
  (emacspeak)
  (let ((file-name-handler-alist nil) (load-source-file-function nil))
(load "emacspeak-loaddefs") (emacspeak))
  (if noninteractive nil (let ((file-name-handler-alist nil)
(load-source-file-function nil)) (load "emacspeak-loaddefs")
(emacspeak)))

Things appear to be working on emacs-side, the editor runs and I can
navigate, but emacspeak does not work at all. What have I missed here?

Thanks,
