[BRLTTY] Human ware bx40 on osx

[Raoul MEGELAS]

Hi,,

 Bx40 does not start on brltty  nor the seika v6
at this time on osx even if they work properly on VoiceOver..
i tried with usb and bluetooth with no success.
as i said, it is not a protocol question as they start correctly on Debian.
i run brltty  only with a focus blue.
this one starts fine.

in case you need this:
i attach  (my cfg-darwin).

As usual after git pull (if brltty is installed),
and  “autogen” .
run mycfg-darwin.
if all goes well,
Goto drivers/screen/fileviewer
load makefile
at line 53 delete -ltinfo.
cd ../../../
Make and sudo make install.
but sure you know all that.
N.B. the configure file
add -ltinfo in the Make
file in fileviewer.
the  “expr” does not work for this item.
