Re: [orca-list] Announcing Orca v3.7.4



I'm using arch for at least one month in my work, and so far not encountered any problem that prevents me from working.

The only issue I have about arch is of security and also that it can't
be used for day to day work.
I wonder how often one breaks a system in arch, preventing it to be a
regular prime time distro.
Happy hacking.

I think that even with ubuntu 12.10 you don't,.
What I did was move to arch, as suggested in this message.
The problem is that the arch requires the user to have some knowledge
of the system and some settings are not as automated as in ubuntu.
Moreover the existing documentation is very good in my opinion.
Thanks.

Hi Krishnakant,

Quick answer is you don't. Ubuntu 12.04 is too far out of date to run
Orca 3.7.4. Basically, if you want it we are talking about compiling
Gnome 3.6, possibly Gnome 3.7, upgrading to Python 3, and building all
the Python dependencies Orca needs. If you want bleeding edge builds
of Orca pick a different distribution like Arch which has a rolling
release for Gnome etc which is better for development and bleeding
edge testing of Gnome. Ubuntu while decent for a stable day to day
distribution is not great for bleeding edge testing of Gnome and Orca
without doing a lot of custom compiling and installing everything
yourself.

Cheers!

Great work.
So what do I need to compile this version on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.
I am getting an error on GTK+ not properly installed.
It asks for a version which seems to be not there.
Kindly help.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
