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

[Marco Zehe <marco marcozehe de>]

Hi everyone,

I got it to build after a while of searching. Turns out the package I was missing was called python-gi-dev, 
and I also needed to get libgstreamer-1.0-dev, so that autogen.sh was satisfied and flagged everything as 
"yes". make and sudo make install then worked nicely, and I have Orca Master running in that ubuntu VM now.

Leaving this here in case anyone else runs into this. The package name was not immediately obvious, and it 
took several search attempts until I arrived at the correct answer.
