Re: [orca-list] Latest orca.

[Milton <milton duurzaamdigitaal org>]

Hi,

I use Ubuntu 18.04 with Orca master. If as today I press Orca+H Orca 
says version 3.35.4pre.


On this mailing list a while ago I copy the following to get Orca master:


1. Enable the Canonical repositories.
* Open software updater.
* Click the Ubuntu tab.
* Check the box source repositories.
* 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, press Alt+Control+T.

3. Install git, type or copy and paste the following command and press 
Enter.
sudo apt-get install git

4. Install build dependencies. Type or copy and paste the following 
command and press Enter.
sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca

* Answer yes to the ‘do you want to continue?’ prompt.

5. Get the orca source code. Type or copy and paste the following 
command and press Enter.
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca.git

6. 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. Type the following 
and press Enter:
cd orca

* Configure orca source. Type or copy and paste the following command 
and press Enter.:
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.6 ./autogen.sh

* build orca. Type or copy and paste the following command and press 
Enter.:
make

* Install the built binaries. Type or copy and paste the following 
command and press Enter.: :
sudo make install

7. When install is complete, restart the system.

After you can keep up with Orca master by executing the following 
commands in a terminal:
* first change to the orca folder
cd orca
* look for uptdates
git pull
* to see what changes are made
git log
* to update
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.6 ./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
