Re: [orca-list] Debugging a Broken Orca

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

Hi.
I do not know what could be wrong, but I am running orca generated from 
git without problems.
Do not know if it matters, but I also recompiled atk, at-SPI2-atk and 
at-SPI2-core from git.

Do you can login to your machine even without speech?
If possible, activate a terminal session and type:

orca 1>errors.1 2>erros.2

The messages related to the errors should be placed in that files.
Thanks.
