[Emacspeak] Using Emacspeak with straight.el as Package Manager?

[Hunter Jozwiak <hunter.t.joz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Has anyone had any luck with running Emacspeak with straight.el? I've tried the recipe from the emacsmmirror, but that didn't seem to work on its own (I had to do a :post-build ("make" "espeak") to compile the speech server which wasn't too bad, but that's as far as I managed to get).  Also, I think that Emacspeak is confused since Straight symlinks the elisp files to ~/.emacs.d/straight/build/emacspeak and some of the variables are expecting the root directory of the emacspeak repository itself, namely this variable definition:

;;;###autoload
(defvar emacspeak-directory
  (expand-file-name "../" (file-name-directory load-file-name))
  "emacspeak directory")

which I'm fairly certain should be something along the lines of:

;;;###autoload
(defvar emacspeak-directory
  (expand-file-name "../" (file-name-directory (file-truename load-file-name)))
  "emacspeak directory")

Furthermore, the autoloads file doesn't appear to be correct, so I wound up changing (load "emacspeak-loaddefs") to (load "emacspeak-autoloads") in emacspeak-setup.el

Up til now, these are the approaches I've tried, so I am wondering if anyone has had any success in getting emacspeak to work with straight.el, and if so, what approach did you take?

Thanks,

Hunter
