[orca-list] Building Orca manually, pygobject not found

[Marco Zehe <marco marcozehe de>]

Hi there!

I am trying to build Orca from source, and am running into a problem with autogen.sh:

checking for pygobject-3.0 >= 3.18... no
configure: error: Package requirements (pygobject-3.0 >= 3.18) were not met:

No package 'pygobject-3.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PYGOBJECT_CFLAGS
and PYGOBJECT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

Ubuntu does not find any pygobject-3.0, pygobject3-dev or devel or other thing. pip3 tells me pygobject is 
already the current version 3.38 in /usr/lib/dist-packages. So it *is* installed apparently.

How do I go about solving this?

Thanks for any advice!

Marco
