[BRLTTY] Problem compiling BRLTTY source from Github on the latest Mac OS 10.11.x

Sun Nov 1 14:46:51 EST 2015

First of all, keith, what do you mean about it not working for you? You can still purchase on the audible.com <http://audible.com/> website as usual and I ham having no problems doing that. If you are having problems, be more specific and I will be glad to try to help.

Ian, here are some tips for buying a Kindle book on Amazon. I do use the full website instead of the supposedly separate but equal accessible one. . But usually I go specifically to the Kindle store.

1. When navigating through the website it may be helpful to turn cursor tracking off if you keep seeing things that say "dialog" that you can't seem to get past or get into. Sometimes this happens to me and sometimes it doesn't. Just remember to turn cursor tracking back on after you navigate.

2. For Kindle books, Skip all the other Amazon stuff and go directly to the Kindle store:
http://www.amazon.com/kindlestore

You may hear other things being spoken as you type this, such as Kindle paperwhite but this will take you to the Kindle store. After that, all you need do is type your book or author or whatever in the search field which should be easily found by using the forms category in the rotor. Hit return; find your book and hit return on it. Check the price and then just do ctrl-option-f and type click and hit return. You should be on the link to use one-click to buy and to the right of that is a pop-up to choose a delivery destination of you want to use that but you don't have to do that.

It is also still possible to buy on your iPhone or iPad though you can't do it from the Amazon app. it still can be done through safari. I haven't done this so I don't know how accessible it is or isn't. Here is the link:

Hth.

and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You, Lord,
my rock and my Redeemer.

>>> Hello listers, and specifically developers of BRLTTY. This may be a known problem already, but I thought I would report it in case this was not discussed yet. I just attempted to compile the BRLTTY source code from Github on Mac OS 10.11.1, however, the process fails right before the linker is about to step in. It seems that clang cannot find the compiled object dylib1.o in /usr/lib directory. I was curious if this is already known and whether someone is looking into this? Thanks a lot and I look forward to building and using BRLTTY on my Mac soon! Best, Victor
