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

Sun Nov 1 18:55:25 EST 2015

First of all, are you using screen-4.2.1 or screen-4.0.1 or some other version?

Secondly, did you patch your source of screen before configuring and compiling it but after installing brltty?

I have recently worked with installing both screen-4.0.1 and 4.2.1 on El Capitan and nothing has stopped the install. Did your install actually come up with an error or was this just a warning?

Just trying to cover all the bases. Answer these questions and we will see where we are from there.

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
