>sudo git clone https://github.com/brltty/brltty.git

Why are you using sudo to do the git clone? You can, and should, be doing the
git clone as yourself.

>sudo chmod -R 777 .

Now I know why you're having permission problems. If you'd done the git clone
as yourself then you wouldn't be needing to grant everyone full permissions.

>cd brltty
>./autogen
>./configure
>make //error messages

The same ones? Please post your config.mk file.

>make install //cant do this

This command - the make install - is the one (and only) that you need to be
using sudo for (or running as root). The reason is because it needs to install
files in public, system locations.

>brlapi_constants.h is still a small file <400 lines

How much smaller? Running "wc -l brlapi_constants.h" will give you the exact
number.
