Re: [orca-list] Status of SVN trunk



Thanks for that suggestion, it seemes to have solved the issues where I
would say orca wasn't working. Note: On slackware, /usr/libexec is the
correct directory for --libexecdir (using gnome slacky packages for
gnome). In fact /usr/libexec is the default for --libexecdir if prefix
has been set to /usr. I have created a package in slackware for this
(based on the slackBuild script from gnome slacky) so could share this
with others should they want it.

Hi Michael:

That sounds like it.  Just a note of caution, though: I've rendered my 
system inaccessible by building at-spi with the wrong libexecdir and 
needed to do a reinstall to get it back to working shape.  Both the 
Solaris and Ubuntu commands I gave below, however, are from past 
experiences that have worked for me.

I am using slackware. On slackware there is a directory
named /usr/libexec/ which contains a file named at-spi-registryd with
permissions -rwxr-xr-x. Does this sound like the libexedir I should
specify?

Hi Michael:

I just tried Evolution on my Solaris Express Community Edition b76 
machine with Orca and at-spi from SVN trunk.  It seems to work as 
expected, and the performance is not horrible.  Sluggish, yes, but not 
on the order of seconds.  So...maybe you might need to upgrade your 
pyatspi install.  It contains a lot of needed fixes.

Building/installing at-spi from SVN can get a little tricky since you 
need to also specify the --libexecdir option to autogen.sh or configure. 
  On Ubuntu, I believe you need to use the following:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/at-spi

Note that on Solaris, it's different:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib

If you don't have either Ubuntu or Solaris, the setting of your 
libexecdir should be the directory that holds your system's 
at-spi-registryd executable.

If this works for you, please let us know and we will update our WIKI to 
contain the new information needed to build/install Orca from SVN trunk.

Thanks!

Hello,
What is the current state of SVN trunk for orca? I think Will said that
the main part of the migration should be done by Monday (which has
gone), and I am noticing some issues still (possibly performance
related, but if they are then the performance is very slow as I normally
have decided it isn't working before anything is said (waiting for a
good 10 seconds or more)). As an example, I have multiple accounts in
evolution, and I get no output when navigating through the mail folder
tree.
