[BRLTTY] performing a make on BRLTTY (fwd)

[Christopher Gray]

Hi Samuel:

Thanks for that explanation.  The explanation and syntax were very helpful and 
worked great!  I can now see everything altogether and it's really a help.

The make goes through lots of steps working well until it tries to work with 
python.  I've checked and definitely have the most recent version of python and 
python-pyrex.  However, there's no python.h I can find anywhere on the Linux 
system.

      find / -name python.h -print

finds nothing. This appears to be at least the first problem at hand to resolve.

Here's a part of the listing with a little extra just before and after the 
first error listing.  Before this are only messages, no warnings or errors.

brlapi.auto.c:31: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘*’ token
brlapi.auto.c:32: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token

In etc/python there is a single line that says:

      byte-compile = standard
