I am a bit unclear about what we need to do.
I think I do correctly understand that the xboard code has been updated since your last post, so that does
need to be rebuilt/will do.
As for as the orca patch: you seem to say that we need to change something in orca besides apply the patch to
scripts/default.py, but maybe I am not
getting that right.
Is all we need to do is patch default.py?
Thanks/looking very forward to this.

Dear orca developers, I am working on XBoard Gtk to make it accessible. The version that use TTS to announce the information is being tested by my visually impaired friends. As you know, using TTS is not a good method, so I just created a solution by setting accessible description, so that screen reader can say it. Unfortunately this demands a minor change in orca screen reader code also(scripts/default.py). The patch is attached with this mail. Maybe we have to provide a check box option in orca to enable this. Quick way to compile accessible XBoard : sudo apt-get install fairymax texinfo libgtk-3-dev build-essential git clone git://[1]git.savannah.gnu.org/xboard.git git checkout gtk3 autoreconf --install ./configure --prefix=/usr make sudo make install Please let me this amendment is feasible or not. Expecting an early reply Nalin. References Visible links 1. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/xboard.git
