Re: [orca-list] Help - Orca is Broken for Me!!!

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Steve:

BrlTTY/BrlAPI have been providng a set of Python bindings for a long 
time (BrlTTY 3.8, I believe).  Prior to this, we had a custom 
Orca-specific brl module for BrlAPI.  It was a hairball and prevented us 
from doing a lot of things with braille.  For the 2.27.x cycle, I made 
the decision to dump the old brl module in favor of using the Python 
bindings provided by BrlAPI:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581352

Looks like I ended up making a hard dependency on BrlAPI's python 
bindings (sorry), and I've reopened the bug.

BTW, when working from the latest sources in GIT, I would not recommend 
that you ever replace the Orca under /usr until you are sure the latest 
sources are working properly.  What I do is run autogen.sh with a 
command line option of --prefix=`pwd`/bld instead of --prefix=/usr. 
When I then do a make install, I can run Orca via the bld/bin/orca that 
will be created under the source directory.
