Re: [orca-list] development branch of orca and gnome-2.24 on fedora core 10

Hi Peter:

The configure.in file has indeed changed.  The following threads posted 
the other day may be of help, though they are related to Ubuntu:

I'm not sure how the Fedora folks have packaged gnome-python-desktop-2.0.

> Requested 'libspi-1.0 > 1.24.0' but version of libspi is 1.24.0

Eeks!  I meant to make this ">=" instead of just ">".  I just checked in 
a fix for that.  With this fix, you should be able to 
compile/install/run Orca from git on a GNOME 2.24 system.  Note that the 
official word is that Orca is meant to be compatible with the version of 
GNOME that it ships with.  So, for example, Orca's git master is being 
developed for the GNOME 2.27.x development releases, which will become 
the 2.28.x stable releases.

If you are having success on an earlier version of GNOME, then you can 
comment out or delete the following lines in your configure.in file to 
eliminate the errors:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(orca, \
        dbus-python >= 0.83.0 \
        gnome-python-desktop-2.0 >= 2.24.0 \
        libspi-1.0 >= 1.24.0 \
)
