Re: [orca-list] Updating to orca from source

["Pranav Lal" <pranav lal gmail com>]

Hi all,

I have succeded in updating orca. I followed the below instructions Sanchit sent me off list. I had to 
uncheck the following repository to get the orca build dependencies.
deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi

Is there any kind of test I can give orca to ensure its working correctly? And where is the about dialogue 
box where I can see its version number?

Hi Pranav Sir,

few days ago I have copied following instructions from same mailing list.

it was given for "ubuntu", but I hope you can do it with

raspberry pi 4 using apt-get.
   

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


Thanks.


Sincerely,

Sanchit.
