Orca Master

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

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
