Hello everyone
First of all, before we go any further: i'm not a programmer and an
absolute newbe if it comes to linux, so the obvious might not seem
obvious to me...
After I finally figured out inter nas backups and all of that, I was
hoping I could get braille output from an unraid instance by downloading
and installing the slackware packages on the system, but that didn't
work. The system kept complaining about not finding some files, and
since it's a rather limited system (a nas after all), I didn't think I
was going to get much of any success by following the premade packages route
Because of that, I decided that the next best thing would be to try and
build brltty from source, certainly after I found a page explaining that
the whole program could run standalone...
So, spin up a debian 11 vm, and follow the instructions... but here's
where it gets frustrating...
I download the latest source file, extract, change into the directory
and do:
./configure --enable-standalone-programs --with-install-root=/brltty
--with-text-table=en_US
then
(g)make
and after a short while I get this:
Makefile:49: target 'all' does not exist
cd Programs && gmake all

Am I missing some ./configure options that are important, am I missing
some debian components even though I ran the
sudo ./Tools/reqpkgs -i
even going as far as trying to install all packages remotely related to
libicu
sudo apt install libicu*
I'm fully aware that this might not even fix my self imposed issue, but
I'd like at least to figure out if connecting a display to unraid would
give me an ip and stuff to make life easy...
Sincerely
Roland
