User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/orca
Install Orca by running the following commands:
if [ $(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) != "/usr" ]; then
sed -i "s|PATH=\"|&$(pkg-config \
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/bin:|" \
src/orca/orca.in
fi
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-pydoc &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/orca-2.18.1 &&
install -v -m644 docs/pydoc/*.html \
/usr/share/doc/orca-2.18.1
For full functionality of this package, you should install the libgail-gnome-1.18.0 package.
if [ ... != "/usr" ]; then ...;
fi: This command is used to add the GNOME prefix bin
directory to the hard-coded PATH
statement in the script if the GNOME prefix is anything other than
/usr.
--enable-pydoc: This
parameter is used to build the documentation. Remove it if you
don't want the documentation (also remove the installation
commands).
