Hi Robert
Here are the steps that I took to compile orca on ubuntu 11.10.
Hope that helps.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca
sudo apt-get install gnome-common
The next commands are necessary to update the version of python-gobject.
Orca needs version 3.0.2 or above and ubuntu 11.10 comes with version 3.0.0.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
git clone git://git.gnome.org/orca orca
cd orca
./configure
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
orca will be installed in /usr/local

Hello, everyone.
I am running Ubuntu 11.10 along with Orca version 3.2.1.
I see that a lot of Ubuntu 11.10 users are happily using Orca Master
(which I believe is version 3.3.5pre).
About a month or more ago I asked on the Orca list how to get and build
Orca Master from the GNOME Git repository. At that time, however, I was
running Linux Mint 12. Someone pointed me to the Orca Wiki's
Download/Install page [1]. I followed the instructions there, and I
completely broke my Linux Mint 12 system. I know that the Wiki is going
through an update process, and I (now) know that the instructions for
obtaining Orca Master located there are out-of-date, as I believe they
are in reference to Orca pre-GNOME 3.
Is there an updated guide somewhere for getting and building the latest
Orca Master branch? It does not seem like it would be that difficult (as
the instructions on the Wiki page were explained quite well). I really
want to try and build Orca Master again, but the right way. If there is
an updated guide, where would I find it?
Thanks for any help which you are able to provide.
Take care.
