Re: [orca-list] Orca master under Ubuntu

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish protonmail com>]

Hey there,

there needs to be a symlink created in order for the Orca to be
installed into proper place


cd /usr/local/lib/python3.10
sudo ln -s dist-packages site-packages
cd


Then, you install Orca from source as usual.


If you don't have dependencies yet, do:


# Enables the source repositories in apt

sudo sed -i '/deb-src/s/^# //' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update

# gets the dependencies

sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca -y


Now, in the Orca repo, you can do:


PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 ./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

And you're done, restart Orca and check the version.


Best regards


Rastislav
