[BRLTTY] performing a make on BRLTTY (fwd)

[Christopher Gray]

Hi to all:

Stepping back a bit from this series of errors, please forgive what is probably a 
very basic Linux question and/or problem of understanding or use on my part.

In trying to provide the information needed, I first issued the following 
command

      make >aa

I hoped to pipe the full text of the make to a file called aa.  However, what 
happens is that the warning messages and a fair amount of other text goes into 
the file aa.  However, none of the error messages go there.  Not a single line 
with the word "error" gets into the aa file.  However, if I simply issue a make 
command, lots of lines with "error appear on the screen.

I then tried this approach:

      make |more

This approach gave me a screen ending with the --more-- prompt.  But, when 
issued a top-of-screen command for the braille display, at least the first 
screen of messages seems to 
disappear.  A bottom-of-screen command does not take me back to a --more-- 
prompt, but to a blank line.  From that point on, a top-9f-screen then 
bottom-of-screen does take me to a --more-- prompt.  However, I'm clearly 
missing at least the first screen that could show early information issued from 
the make command.

I'm using brltty 3.7.2 with a Vario 40 braille display.  The Linux being used is 
Ubuntu 7.4.  I installed brltty with apt-get install brltty, and have modified 
the brltty.conf file to use a serial port for this display.

Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.  My guess is that there may be 
some dependencies I don't have installed for 3.8.  Is there a list of these?

Finally, I have installed pythin-pyrex, but I haven't configured it, just 
trusted the installation from Ubuntu's apt-get.

Thank you.

Chris
