Re: [orca-list] Need your help to check Orca pre version

[Christopher Gilland <clgilland07 gmail com>]

Alex,


Thank you for your generous offer to teach us all how to do this. I 
pretty much think I have the steps down, but if you could outline them, 
that would be fantastic. Also, I have a few questions, see below.


I was able with no problems at all to get Master up and working on 
Ubuntu 18.04 both with Gnome, as well as with Mate. I don't think that 
process changes either way, but anyhow...


What I'd like to know however is firstly, can you please outline the 
steps for getting Master up and running with Fedora Workstation? I'm so 
sorry, I don't know the version, but I can tell you that it's the very 
most up to date version for PC desktops. I believe it's the AMD64 
version. I can look it up it absolutely necessary. I just don't recall 
off the top of my head.


I have a system which I've considered deploying it on, but want to be 
sure first I know the process.


Also, regarding Ubuntu 18.04, once the source has been downloaded from 
Gitlab, am I correct in assuming that all I have to then do to check for 
Master updates is to cd into my orca directory, then type:


git pull


Then just do my


PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.6 ./autogen.sh

make

sudo make install


or is there a little more to it than this?


Chris.
