really?
the section i linked to claims this:
"The espeak speak_lib.h include file is located in espeak-ng/speak_lib.h *with an optional symlink in espeak/speak_lib.h*. This file *contains the espeak 1.48.15 API*, with a change to the ESPEAK_API macro to fix building on Windows and some minor changes to the documentation comments. *This C API is API and ABI compatible with espeak.*" (emphasis added)
granted, we have espeak 1.48.04 in [community], but 1.48.15's been development status since 2015[0]. i have a hard time imagining that 1.48.04's API and ABI have had breaking changes on what seems to be a single patch level release, and one four years old at that.
Then I'm sorry to tell you that's indeed the case. Look at espeak package history, the epoch is there for a reason. It was tried to be a drop in replacement before and had to be reverted.
I still have plans to transform espeak back to the NG variant, but that needs a bit of time, staging and planning. For time being you need to accept it doesn't work that easily.
well that is *incredibly* disheartening and surprising. thanks for the helpful response, levente. -- brent saner https://square-r00t.net/ GPG info: https://square-r00t.net/gpg-info
