Re: [orca-list] [solved] Re: Arch+orca stopped talking to me



Hi.
I can send PKGBUILDS to compile atk, at-spi2-core and at-spi2-atk 2.7.91. They were used in my arch box without problems.

I received a PKGBUILD for orca 3.7.91 off list. Looks like it actually
pulls down the release tarball and builds it. I'm told that it requires
downgrading automake to 1.12. I installed the automake-1.12 package from
AUR, and it builds correctly. This PKGBUILD appears to be based on the
abs version of Orca's PKGBUILD for 3.6.1, but with some extra sha256
sums and the python2 dependencies replaced with python, which in Arch
represents python 3. I can send you the PKGBUILD off list if you like.
Since this builds for a release rather than from git, it may be possible
to upload this or a cleaned up version to AUR as orca-latest,
orca-testing or similar.

For some time now, the AUR package orca-git has failed to build. Seems
it depends on a package called python-wnck, which is no longer present
in AUR. If this dependency problem can be fixed, it will once again be
possible to build and install orca-git from AUR. It should be possible
now with a simple edit of the PKGBUILD, but packer, the AUR helper I
use, keeps trying to download python-wnck before I can even edit the
PKGBUILD for orca-git. My next step is to attempt to download the AUR
tarball and build it manually with the python-wnck dependency removed,
and modifying the rest of the dependencies to match the orca 3.7.91
PKGBUILD I have if necessary.

As for the atk, at-spi2-core and at-spi2-atk packages, I actually
received links to prebuilt binary packages for these rather than
PKGBUILD files. It's possible these are in AUR as well, but either they
are not there, or they fail to build. I just installed the binary
packages, I didn't try building them from AUR. These packages are
optional at this time, however, as Orca 3.7.91 works fine with the
current official packages. There have been some bugfixes though that may
make it worth upgrading to these releases.
