No, it compiles stright away on at least FreeBSD.
It even starts, but only says "no screen".
So the program itself works fine.

Yes, that's what I mean is the tricky thing.
So I wonder if the Linux compapillity in at least FreeBSD will provide
this content.
If not, the only option left is to build the patched version of screen
which the README.OpenBSD file in the BRLTTY sources documents.
