Re: [orca-list] finally on ubuntu!

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Congratulations!  Here's some magic commands for building Orca from SVN 
-- I just pulled them from the Ubuntu section of "Setting Up Your Build 
Environment" of http://live.gnome.org/Orca/DownloadInstall:

sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca
sudo apt-get install subversion gnome-common
svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/orca/trunk
cd trunk
./autogen --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Once you get the latest Orca working, you probably should also do an 
'sudo apt-get remove gnome-orca' to keep Ubuntu from getting confused 
that you've installed the latest sources over the official package.

Then..for Firefox, grab the latest nightly from 
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ and 
issue commands similar to the following (the actual filename will be 
different depending upon the name of the latest nightly build).  I 
pulled these from http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Firefox:

bunzip2 firefox-3.0a3pre.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
tar -xvf firefox-3.0a3pre.en-US.linux-i686.tar
cd firefox
./firefox

Hope this helps!
