[chirp_users] compiling for Vinux?
A couple of questions.
what developer packages do I need to have installed to compile the daily source? Also, Is it screen reader compatible using ORCA (on Vinux 4.x)? I ran into some problems trying to compile a daily source build about 2 weeks ago and never did get back around to it. SO, these questions are rather important to me as I am a blind ham and screen reader user.
Additionally, THe program needs to be made accessible on OS X. It is only partially so )the programming window shows a blank scroll area to voiceover and there doesn't appear to be any untreatable controls there). Just a suggestion.

When you attempt to compile you will get errors which tell you what you are missing.
Install those using sudo apt-get install packagename.

half the time I can't determine the package name because it breaks deep in the compile stages with either a bad value (integer used instead of a range) or some other error that causes the compile to fail. Is there a list of dependencies included on the site? If not, can one be listed?
Thanks,

p. I really am totally blind here and trying to track down what caused a compile error is a lot harder for me as I am not a coder and have only recently learned braille.

CHIRP is written in Python, so there is nothing to compile. If you're using ubuntu, the PPA will get you all the dependencies you need. If not, this page lists the dependencies for redhat and debian based distros:

Eric,
Go to the page that Dan gives in his message, or just use the lines I copied below and enter them into gnome-terminal one line at a time. In Vinux the gnome terminal shortcut key is Alt plus Ctrl plus t all pressed together at the same time. The first line will ask you if you want to do what it says, and you can just press enter to continue.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install chirp-daily
This will install the latest daily build of CHIRP.
