Hi,
Here is a complete step-by-step guide on installing orca from
source in Ubuntu 18.04 and later.
1. Enable the
Canonical repositories.
* Open software updater.
* Click
settings
* Click the other software tab.
* Check the boxes
next to Canonical partners and Canonical partners source
repositories.
* Click close.
* When requested, click reload
cache.
2. Open a terminal
window.
3. Install git
*
sudo apt-get install git
4. Install build
dependencies.
* sudo apt-get build-dep orca
* Answer yes to
the ‘do you want to continue?’ prompt.
5. Get the orca
source code.
* git clone https://github.com/gnome/orca.git
6. Checkout your
desired version of orca.
* git checkout tag 3_28_0
7. Build and
install
orca.
!!WARNING!!
Follow the steps below exactly as typed.
Doing something else will mess up your environment and cause file
permission problems.
* Change to your orca repository created in
step 5.
* Configure orca source: PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.6
./autogen.sh
* build orca: make
* Install the built
binaries: sudo make install
8. When install is
complete, restart the system.

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
