Installing Accerciser on Ubuntu 7.10

01 Mar 2008

I recently installed the awesome Accerciser accessibility testing tool on Ubuntu 7.10. I installed the trunk version from subversion and needed these packages:

• subversion
• gnome-common
• libglib2.0-dev
• libgconf2-dev
• ipython

I checked out, built, and installed Accerciser with:

$ svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/accerciser/trunk accerciser
$ cd accerciser
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install

The “make install” installs a binary called “accerciser”.
