Re: [orca-list] how to build atspi2 infrastructure

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hello John,

For the most recent versions of the Gnome software meson + ninja are
used instead of autotools as building tools.

As an example on this page:
https://github.com/GNOME/atk

theses commands are suggested (instead of the usual autogen, configure,
make and make install):

    $ meson _build .
    $ ninja -C _build
    # ninja -C _build install

So the first question is: does Gentoo include the Meson and Ninja
software?

If you can get these just try these commands.

Else, you will have to try the latest releases that can be built with
autotools.

Maybe if you elaborate on the kind of trouble you have with the
installed versions or atk, apt-spi2-core and at-spi2-atk and what
these versions are  we can give you more accurate guidance.

Best regards,

Didier
