Re: [orca-list] heads up: beta code for progress bar beeps in orca coming soon

I backed up my ~/.local/share/orca dir to be safe and  did 
./auatogen.sh
./configure --prefix-=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
before I saw your msg. 
What would your method do to distinguish the orca versions? would they both be in /usr/bin? 
Anyway, so far it is working for me. 
I find the tone a bit louder than I'd like, but more importantly I think itmay last a bit longer than it 
needs to for each beep. I've not used nvda much 
in a long time as I have not used windows much ina long time, but if I remember corectly it gave shorter tone 
bursts that gave one a good idea of what 
was happening with out being extremely intrusive. 
The other thing I'd really like to see is a both option so that one could get both spoken anouncements and 
beeps, i.e. I'd like to bee able to turn 
progress anouncements back to speak every 10 seconds as is default, but have beeps informing me of changes if 
they occur inbetween the spoken feedback. 
Is this beeping for each percent of progress, or is it timed?
This is a good feature that I think many people will want to use/thanks much for dong the work to make it 
happen. I think it's most of the way there, 
but does need to be "toned" down" a little bit, pardon the bad pun, well are most puns not bad actually?
Congrats.

Hi,
For anyone installing this in arch, after you cloned the git repo and are in the directory, do:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
sudo make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
This shouldn't clash with your current orca-git package.

Well, no, autoreconf --install is not enough.
I get the following error when trying to configure the package

config.status: error: cannot find input file: `po/Makefile.in.in'
What is there to do?

hi all
I'm writing to let the list know that chrys has finished an initial
draft of progress bar beeps in orca. I've tested it and it seems to
work fine, but wider testing definitely needed. There's also a gui
setting in orca's preferences. If anyone wants to test, please clone
the following git repository. http://github.com/chrys87/orca-tick.git.
Then ./configure, make, make install. He says once enough people have
tested it he'll send the patches to joanie for inclusion in orca
itself. It uses gstreamer to render the beeps so it will work out of
the box with any modern desktop environment.
Thanks
Kendell clark
