Re: [orca-list] copyinig accessible bridge file trick not working to get skype to speak on arch

Hello,

I am sorry but most likelly you are miss understanding this hack.
The thing is that on 64 bit machine you do need to have 32 bit build of 
qt-at-spi not at-spi2-atk or any other gnome library. I haven't found a 
way on how to build from source but luckily enough manually downloading 
i686 package extracting a proper file out of it and placing it where 
lib32-qt4 expects it to be is working fine.

In order to install or update this hack to the latest available version 
run the following command sequence exactly in this order from the 
terminal...

mkdir /tmp/lib32-qt-at-spi
cd /tmp/lib32-qt-at-spi
wget 
"https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/qt-at-spi/download/"; 
-O "qt-at-spi-i686.pkg.tar.xz"
tar xvf "qt-at-spi-i686.pkg.tar.xz"
sudo rm -Rf /usr/lib32/qt/plugins/accessiblebridge
sudo mv usr/lib/qt4/plugins/accessiblebridge /usr/lib32/qt/plugins/
cd
rm -Rf /tmp/lib32-qt-at-spi


By default wget is not installed on pure arch linux so if you are 
missing it you can use curl or any other suitable app to download the file.
If you just want to follow this without tweaking then you can install 
wget by running
sudo pacman -S wget

I have just tested it and it indeed works fine here.


Greetings

Peter
