Hi everyone, I am almost ready with a version of x11/gnome2 that's taylored for accessibility. I have, however, found something I need a bit of guidance upon. In my current setup, I have installed tinderbox which builds "accessibility-enabled" Gnome versions regularly. I have managed to add a synthesizer (/usr/ports/audio/espeak) so that blind people has a chance to use orca as the screen reader after a successful install. Since Epiphany and orca don't work well together, I have replaced Epiphany with Firefox 3 (which is the only browser that orca supports). But in order to enable accessibility support, there is a gconf key that needs setting. Specifically, it's the /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility key, which must be set to true. In order to have the screen reader/magnifier loaded, the gconf key /desktop/gnome/applications/at/screen_reader_enabled must also be set to true. I have made some simple modifications to the gnome2 Makefile (which are only applied if GNOME_ACCESSIBILITY is defined) so that people can use the same Makefile to build both versions of Gnome, i.e. the regular version and the accessibility version. But here is the problem: I would like for the gnome2 Makefile to set the two gconf keys automatically. When I run the make install command when GNOME_ACCESSIBILITY is defined, the commands to set the gconf keys are executed correctly, but when I build the same package inside tinderbox, the package isn't created and I get no specific error. So the question is fairly simple: How can I set the two gconf keys when the package is built so that the user doesn't need to type anything but pkg_add -r gnome2-accessibility, restart and have everything set up properly? I hope I have made everything clear. Once I have found a solution, I shall be happy to submit a PR so that this can be integrated into gnome2. All the best, Peter. Tinderbox version: 3.3 FreeBSD 8.1-i386
