Re: packaging at-spi2-core for multiarch systems

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,


It appears my issue has something to do with qt-at-spi not at-spi2-core. 
I have found out it is not necessary to build my own lib32-at-spi2-core 
for arch linux as there is already the whole accessibility stack in the 
multilib repository including lib32-at-spi2-core, lib32-at-spi2-atk and 
lib32-atk .

Running lib32-gtk with some 32bit gtk+3 apps on arch linux I can see 
these are accessible.



I am afraid it might be offtopic but still if you have got some ideas 
why my build of qt-at-spi is not working I would be happy to hear from you.


Greetings


Peter
