Re: [orca-list] Using orca with virtualbox

[Tyna Pelletier-Bilodeau <ecole tyna gmail com>]

Hi again,
I tried to run vbox in gdb. Sadly there is no debugging symbols, and 
apparently it is started via a shell script which I'm not familiar with, 
at all. So I tried to run vbox from /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox, but 
sadly it misses most parameters that the script give to it to make it 
run and I'm not sure how to handle it at this point. Any idea ?
Thanks
