Re: [orca-list] Building Orca for python3

[Paul Hunt <paul-leics virginmedia com>]

Hi,

Yes I saw Mike's message about at-spi2-atk but you mentioned needing 
latest at-spi2 and friends from master so I wasn't sure. I have reverted 
to at-spi2-atk 2.5.2 which has made an improvement as Orca wasn't 
reading menus with the version from master.

I am still stuck with the cairo issue though.

I pulled in python3-cairo-dev but it hasn't helped.

What is the autogen script looking for and where does it expect to find it?

I seem to have 4 directories for python3 modules.

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
/usr/lib/python3.2/dist-packages
/usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages
/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages

In all of these I have a cairo folder and a library called 
_cairo.cpython-32mu.so but still the autogen script fails because the 
cairo module is not present.

Confused!
