Introduction to At-Spi2 Core
The At-Spi2 Core package contains
a comprehensive accessibility framework for the Assistive
Technologies available on the GNOME platform. This includes a set of
interfaces which are implemented by other toolkits and
applications.
Note
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages
properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most
recent stable versions of the books.
Package Information
At-Spi2 Core Dependencies
Required
dbus-1.14.10, GLib-2.82.2
(GObject Introspection required for GNOME), gsettings-desktop-schemas-47.1
(Runtime), and Xorg Libraries
Optional
Gi-DocGen-2024.1 and sphinx-8.1.3
Installation of At-Spi2 Core
Install At-Spi2 Core by running
the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson setup .. \
--prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-D systemd_user_dir=/tmp &&
ninja
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install &&
rm /tmp/at-spi-dbus-bus.service
The test suite requires the glib schemas of the package to be
installed already. The tests also need to run in a graphical
environment. Now that the package is installed, test the results by
issuing: dbus-run-session ninja
test.
Command Explanations
--buildtype=release
:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-D systemd_user_dir=/tmp
:
This flag puts the systemd unit file in /tmp where it will be
removed. SysV is unable to use this file.
-D docs=true
: Use this switch if you
want to build the documentation. Note that you must have both
Gi-DocGen-2024.1 and sphinx-8.1.3 installed on your system.
