Hey Storm,
Apollogies if anyone else has already chimed in since my last digest delivery :-) I find building orca and related packages from sourse easiest with the Arch user repository (AUR) packages. Some of the members here have taken the time to generate arch build-scripts for some of the basic accessiblity related pagackages: at-spi2-core-git, at-spi2-atk-git, pyatspi [Michael Whapples], orca-git and speech-dispatcher-git [Steve holmes]. There may be others of which I am not aware, but the repository is quite extensive. After you download the apropriate buildscript, make sure you have the base-devel group installed and run "makeppkg --syncdeps" in the same directory as the PKGBUILD file. You might also need to enable the testing repos in you pacman.conf to ensure correct dependencies with orca. I tried building a few days ago and it told me gtk wasn't new enough, and I'm just on the base repos. Hope this Helps:-) >Date: Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:27:41 -0400 >From: Storm Dragon <stormdragon2976 gmail com> >To: orca-list gnome org >Subject: Re: [orca-list] The Orca Wiki, building Orca in Arch Linux, > and a Question about Open Solaris >Message-ID: <1315380461 1427 9 camel alicia-laptop> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > >Hi, >Well, the reason I want to build from source is, I want to try things >with XFCE.
