Re: [orca-list] Building orca from source on Ubuntu 14.0.4



For Ubuntu 18.04, you should probably do that:
> sudo apt-get build-dep orca

The orca package on recent Ubuntu is called orca. gnome-orca only exists for compatibility reasons.

Hello Christian,

What is sure is Orca master doesn't work with Ubuntu 14.04, it doesn't work with 16.04 also.

What you could also do is:
0) You shouldn't upgrade Orca without being able to continue to use your computer. If Orca is broken I wouldn't want you be in a bad situation due you're relying only on Orca. I advise you to check on a VM before to do it on your computer.

1) Install orca dependencies with:
sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca

2) Obtain the Orca source code
git clone git://git.gnome.org/orca

3) Move on the directory containing the sources

4) List available version on git
git tag

5) And then checkout the tag you want, for example:
git checkout ORCA_3_18_2

6) Compile and build
./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

On Debian 8 "Jessie" released the 2015-04-26, we're able to update until Orca 3.24.

Let me know if I could help but keep in mind you could completely break Orca if you try to update it on an old system.

Also, you can download directly Orca 3.18 from Ubuntu 16.04: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/gnome-orca

Best regards,
Alex.

Hi,

due to stupid security policies of my employer I have to use Ubuntu
14.0.4 on my laptop at work with an also very old version of gnome3 :-(.
Because this very old workingenvironment I am thinking about to build
orca and all its dependences from source.

Has anyone tried this and do I have any chance that this will work?

Are there any dependences to newer python versions or whatever that will
orca not let work on this old Ubuntu version?

Ciao and thanks for any hint and help,

   Schoepp
