[BRLTTY] final info for right now on upgrade to mavericks and brltty

[Cheryl Homiak]

I was able to get past the llvm problem by telling macports to install ld64 and then it installed llvm-3.3 but then it couldn't install gcc and there's a ticket on this. I realize I may simply have to completely uninstall and reinstall macports but this is quite a process and right now there are enough tickets on ports that don't work on mavericks I think I may just wait. Even if one tries to use the script that is available for reinstalling ports after you uninstall them all, this looks like it could be a mess at the moment. So I'm going to just wait a few days and then i'll reinstall if necessary. I'm pretty sure, though, that macports is causing my problems with compiling brltty. Will post again when I finally get this accomplished unless somebody does this and posts first.

So i copied the executables from /bin on my external drive to /bin on my hd and that works. So I can run it on mavericks; just can't compile it there.

Instead, I copied gnutar from my mountain lion install and it worked, at least for now. I then proceeded with the port upgrades until a couple (calc, catdoc) would not install so I just uninstalled them. But then lvm-3.2 was reported as not being supported in mavericks and higher and there didn't seem to be any way of getting past that. So that's as far as i got with upgrading macports.
