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

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

No, you don't need to install gnome 3-7, at least until now. You need to 
install python3 using pacman.

You can compile orca directly from git or create a package using a PKGBUILD.

Actually I have orca 3.7.4 installed as a package and another version 
compiled from git to test new commits.

I am also using at-spi2-core version 3.7.3.

I can send some instructions on how to compile orca and at-spi2-core 
using PKGBUILD. The process is relatively easy since you already are 
using arch.
