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

Peter,

I thought arch would be more difficult than Ubuntu or Debian.  I installed Bridge Linu from the Live CD and I installed pacmind which is a graphical user interface for their package installation program.


I can honestly say that arch is easier than Ubuntu or Debian.  The one thing you have to know is the package name of what you want to install and you can find that out by using google.

To add the testing repositories to your system do this:

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

Find the section REPOSITORIES

Find this part:

#[testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

The instruction on what to do are right above this, it says remove the # from the repository name and from the include line.

So change and save.

I use pacmind to install programs.

If you don't have it then do this:

sudo -Sy pacmind

Best wishes,

David

Hello,
I am also using arch for some two months. I have upgraded my system three times without ruining it so far.
However I am curious do I need to install gnome 3.7 from testing or can I install python3, manually install a lot of dependencies and test orca on a gnome 3.6?
I am interested on how you are doing it Josee.
Do you have PKBUILD scripts for every single dependency or are just using ./configure & make & make install where possible ?

Greetings

Peter

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Quick answer is you don't. Ubuntu 12.04 is too far out of date to run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.
