Hello Raoul, I found your brltty-screen patch and applied it to the macports distribution. This resulted in two rejected hunks which I can send along if you’d like. I then attempted to build patched screen package with: sudo port build screen This resulted in a compiler error which I’m attemp

Re: [BRLTTY] need help building on mac os 10.9

Hello, Thanks to all of your advice, I was able to compile and run brltty on the mac. The cfg-darwin script gave much better results. The other issue I had was that I had to run screen under su. If I ran it without the su, there appeared to be no communication between screen and brltty. Chri

Great news! I did something similar with good results so far. I have macports installed so I used —prefix=/opt/local. I still want to keep my additions away from the tree in the official OS. I did a sudo make install without bothering to create symlinks to the binary. Finally, you can do a su
