[BRLTTY] Brltty 6 and Centos 7

[Keith Wessel]

And I've already hit a stumbling block for the srpm route, too. It wants
libvoxin-devel and espeak-ng-devel, neither of which I'm finding RPMs for in
the repos I have configured. Google didn't turn up much in the way of RPMs,
either.

Adrian or others, how did you get past these? Or did you just remove these
components from the build spec?

Thanks,
Keith

Hi, Adrian,

Thanks for confirming that I could build the SRPMs on Centos 7. I figured
that would work, and I was keeping this in mind as plan B but thought I
would first ask about the binary RPMs: what distro they were in fact
intended for and if there's a way to get them working on Centos 7. Given the
glibc version, I assumed no but figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Keith

Hi Keith,
gI run CentOS 7.6 myself, I took the source of brltty 6.0 and compiled it
myself without any problems.
