Re: [orca-list] Google chrome and orca

[Andy Borka <sonfire11 gmail com>]

Hi,

You can install python 3.7 even if you use 3.6 for other projects. Orca can use 3.7 or 3.8 by giving it the python version during autoconf.

From in the source repository, type:

PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.7 ./autogen.sh

sudo make

sudo make install

Then restart Orca. Everything should work from that point. Make sure you install python3.7 first though.

3.6 is what I am using at the moment, I can't use 3.7 otherwise I have
to rebuild lots of other packages.

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
