To get around the Makefile trying to compile the server for Outloud, I
just commented out the following line in the Makefile:
# $(INSTALL) -m 755 ${OUTLOUD} $(libdir)/servers/linux-outloud

What a mess!
I had to do a whole lot of things way outside documentation to get this
application running.
First, since outloud kept on insisting on compiling I did major surgery
on the emacspeak/servers directory and erased anything that wasn't
linux-espeak. I think emacspeak was getting confused in that directory.
After make config and make emacspeak and copying the directory and all
subdirectories that had emacspeak-setup.el to /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
and adding an (add-list "load-path statement above emacspeak-setup.el
line as suggested in the info page, I had to start emacs which
complained it couldn't find emacspeak-setup.el after being loaded and
then I did a load-library <ret> emacspeak-setup.el <ret> and heard
emacspeak finally do something close to its normal startup including the
organ music.
Now I'm going to have to investigate to find out why the
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/lisp/lisp/ path wasn't liked by emacs.
I think the Make file in the emacspeak directory inadvertently had its
exit statements stripped out if exit is even a valid Makefile command
because the stanza just below emacspeak: was you guessed it outloud:.
My reading of Makefile code isn't all that professional but all I found
was a blank line between the end of the emacspeak stanza and the
outloud: stanza and unless that's a valid form of exit it's entirely
understandable why outloud kept building even though viavoice wasn't on
the machine at the time. Let's not even talk about searching for
existing server software before building anything, that will add too
much complexity to the Makefile most likely.
Now I'm going to go study Makefile syntax and see if I can learn enough
to figure out some valid fixes for this one.
