[nfbcs] Does anyone succeed in emacspeak installation on Cygwin?

[Tony Malykh]

Hi JooYoung,


I tried emacspeak in cygwin a year ago and ran into some problems. I 
believe I made a conclusion that this configuration was broken, since I 
found other people on the internet running into the same problem. People 
on emacspeak list suggested to just run native emacspeak for windows.


Another option you might try is to install emacspeak in WSL - but WSL 
requires Windows 10. Also WSL doesn't support sound (yet), but I managed 
to hook it up to windows SAPI speech server:

https://github.com/SaqibS/emacspeak-on-windows

And this worked for me although audio icons weren't working. And also in 
this case you'd have to write scripts to make copy/paste/kill/yank 
functions to interoperate with Windows clipboard. In native emacs 
copy/paste works out-of-the-box.


Cheers

Tony
