[BRLTTY] precision regarding brltty 4 doesn't compile: make stops...

[Labrador]

Hi,

shall I retry to compile one of the previous brltty versions?
3.10 for examples hangs too, it is still asking / searching for yacc but I
can't find any yacc-dev pack on my Debian Lenny?

I also tried compiling brltty 3.7 and he's hanging as well, looking /
searching for usb_linux.o; idem afte I installed libusb-dev.

So my question is, is there or isn't there anymore any brltty I should be
able to compile with Lenny or Hardy or one of the current distros, as static
bin?
if yes, whichone, and are all options I aplied permitted?

Thanx,

L.
