In my mirror at https://github.com/rhdunn/espeak I provide various
build improvements for compiling eSpeak on Linux and other POSIX
platforms. This supports building the extended dictionaries
(https://github.com/rhdunn/espeak#extended-dictionary-configuration):

Russian:
    ./configure --with-extdict-ru

Mandarin Chinese:
    ./configure --with-extdict-zh

Cantonese:
    ./configure --with-extdict-zhy

The extended data files have been added to the repository in the
dictsource/extra directory.

HTH,
