[orca-list] GMSGFMT mystery solved

["John Heim" <johnheim tds net>]

Earlier today I posted that I was getting a Makefile with a null GMSGFMT 
variable. I figured out that it was because I needed to install the debian 
gettext package. Once I installed that, I was able to make and install orca. 
It doesn't work but it's installed. :-)

I'm going to putz with it some more tomorrow. I may need to ask for help 
again but I'm going to try to figure it out myself first.  I had done that 
with the GMSGFMT problem but I didn't think I was going to figure that one 
out on my own.

PS: I am using the current stable version of orca, 2.18.0 I think it is. Not 
the version from svn. With the version from svn, it said I had to update 
gnome-common from cvs and I didn't know how to do that. So I went back to 
the tarball I had downloaded and got that to compile.


PPS: I've been taking notes on what I've been doing to get orca working on 
my debian testing system. I have to get it working on debian testing because 
that is what we have in my department at the University of Wisconsin. Here 
are my notes (they are very brief).
