Re: [orca-list] Pluginsystem for Orca using libpeas

[Patrick ZAJDA <patrick zajda fr>]

Hello,


Right, I've just done it on Debian Buster.

I only had to install the backports version of meson after installing 
all dependencies of libpeas (sudo apt build-dep libpeas) and I also 
installed the python3 versions of libpeas dependencies then I followed 
these instructions: 
https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/gnome/libpeas.html


Now I can run orca with the plugin system.

It is not the cleanest way to proceed as I overwritten installed 
binaries by Debian but I have not encountered any issue.


Hop this could help some other people.
