Re: [orca-list] Orca master under Ubuntu

[Colomban Wendling <cwendling hypra fr>]

Hello,

You shouldn't have to overwrite Ubuntu version, and I wouldn't recommend it: either remove it properly, or leave it alone.

This said, there was a fix today in orca to fix default installation next to another installation in standard paths, like the Ubuntu package. I'm not sure Ubuntu was affected by the issue that has been fixed (it is relevant for systems using automake 1.16.4 or newer), but that's worth a try.
To benefit from the fix, you'll need to re-run configure (or manually call config.status) after having update the gir repository.

Hope this helps,
Colomban

Try adding —prefix=/usr to the end of your ./autogen.sh command. I’m not sure if ghost is still necessary or not, but you may need to create a Sim link from site-packages to dist-packages. I remember seeing a script a couple months ago on this list that accomplishes this for you..

Hi,

I want to try the latest version of Orca in Ubuntu, but ./autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make install installs orca in different directory, so original orca is not owerwritted.In which command do I need to specify path to owerwrite original 42.0 version? I have Fedora on my laptops, but my desktop computer is able to work with Ubuntu only and classic install works in Fedora as expected.

Thanks,

Pavel
