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.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.4
platform.
Package Information
At-Spi2 Core Dependencies
Required
dbus-1.16.2, GLib-2.84.4
(GObject Introspection required for GNOME), gsettings-desktop-schemas-48.0
(Runtime), and Xorg Libraries
Optional

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 gtk2_atk_adaptor=false &&
ninja
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
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.
